2009 Disaster Preparedness Day

Yesterday was a successful public awareness event held at South SF High School.  Turnout from public agencies was good and it was certainly the most CERT personnel I had ever seen in one location.  Exhibitors ranged from banks to coroners, from the FBI to Congresswoman Jackie Speier.

Blythe Asagi scored a great location for our exhibit, right along the path to the free lunch.  Along with Christy, our table was staffed by Hayman Tam, Blythe, and Dave & Laila Hinkle.  Besides our own exhibit, other CERT units participating included South San Francisco (who also cooked the hot dogs), Redwood City, San Mateo, Millbrae, Brisbane and North County.

Photos from the event can be seen on our CERT photo album (use the link on the right).

As a result of the many questions we fielded that day, I have added a new feature to this blog.  In the right hand margin are links to the websites of other Bay Area CERT organizations.  Feel free to contact me (hayman @ bsccert.org) with any additions/corrections.
