On Thursday evening, April 24, we’re having a meeting to discuss the work of our new neighborhood emergency preparedness committees that are working in the following areas:

·         Communications – The Water District has funded the initial upgrade of the radio systems used to communicate within the community as well as communicate to County Emergency Services.

·         Fuel load reduction – Could the removal of dead and downed wood and the selective thinning of our forest cover ‘save our bacon’ in a real brush fire?  If yes, what’s our plan/costs?  How can we best work with surrounding property owners/parks?

·         Survival kits – Should we supplement the water jug delivery with essential supply kits? 

·         Fire fighting  - How can we and WFD use our lake, our one for sure survivable source of water, to better prepare for fire?

Our meeting will be at:

80 Joaquin Rd, 7:30 pm Thursday 4/24/08

This is a public meeting.  All are enthusiastically encouraged to attend and contribute.
