There was a regular meeting of the VeronaWalk CERT Team on October 15. The meeting, as usual, was at Town Center, and was well attended.
A demonstration involving our radios was planned, however the TEAM received word shortly after 7:00 PM that there was a child lost in the community. "Little Billy" became the teams focus, and the radios were given an excellent test.
An "Incident Commander" was quickly identified, and he dispersed teams to conduct a "search and rescue" operation. We even went to the Car Wash looking for our subject. It took our well trained team less than thirty minutes to find the missing child. In this case "Little Billy" was a sheet of paper, in a plastic covering, which served as the teams ultimate clue.
On top of successfully finding the missing child the team also identified one defective radio. You never can tell what practice drills will reveal. Bottom Line: A very good night for our TEAM.
