July Belmont CERT Meeting

The guest presenter for the July meeting was John McKnight, Director of  Disaster & Emergency Services for the Salvation Army.  He gave a very interesting presentation on what services are provided and how they compare to Red Cross.  The Salvation Army concentrates on providing food and recovery services for victims while the Red Cross deals with shelter logistics.

Other items discussed:
>SFO Emergency Exercise scheduled for 9/28/16
>San Mateo city has approved the merger of San Mateo, Belmont and Foster City Fire Departments, next is Foster City then Belmont approvals
