Chatham County CERT organization meeting on April 25

From: Terry Schmidt
Subject: Chatham Co CERT organization meeting scheduled

Chatham Co. CERT will meet April 25, 2018 at 6:30 PM in the Chatham County Emergency Operations Center.

This is an organizational meeting, not a training meeting. We will focus on near-term operations (the next year to 18 months), and answer these questions:

How will the Chatham County CERT organize and operate (set up an organizational structure)?

What is the Chatham County CERT mission (what are OUR concerns as Chatham County Residents, and how should we prepare)?

How often should we meet for ongoing training, and what topics are priority?

How should we develop our ‘body of knowledge’, and how should it be maintained?

What are our expectations of the County, and what are the County’s expectations of CERT?

What methods should we use as CERT members to communicate with other CERT members?

If you are interested in helping to answer these questions, please plan on attending this organizational meeting.

As a reminder, the next CERT basic training course is scheduled for June 15 (Friday evening), June 16 (Saturday) and June 17 (Sunday) at the Chatham County Ag and Convention Center. Please sign up at https://terms.ncem.org/TRS/home.do if you were unable to attend the first class, and tell your friends and neighbors!
