CAPTAIN'S MESSAGE

The VeronaWalk CERT team's December 10th meeting will be in our Town Center at 6:00 P.M.

As planned we’re going to have a pizza party to celebrate our teams first anniversary, and a year in paradise without any disasters.

Don’t forget to bring your spouse, or guest and bring any refreshment you care to drink. Please respond to the email sent to all team members in regard to attendance and costs as soon as possible. I look forward to seeing all of you there.

CERT DRILL: TEAM LOCATES AND ASSISTS VICTIM

The first alarm went off at 7:00AM. A horrible time to get up on a Saturday morning, but we did. If we were lucky we got a cup of coffee before grabbing the gear and arriving at Town Center by 8:00AM to conduct a planned Team Drill.

With everybody signed in we were given our radios and the mission was explained. An elderly man with Alzheimer's Disease was missing within the community.Our task was to Search and Rescue

Multiple teams were quickly assigned search areas and worked searching specific streets and common areas. As clues were found they were reported and noted at the Command Center. Eventually we heard the call: "We found the man."

With the mission completed the Team reassembled at Town Center for a debriefing and some good old doughnuts. Job Well Done.
