Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
In the past we've discussed how to help manage less trained volunteers at shelters.  Tonight we're going to talk about how to help organize citizen volunteers in a search and rescue project.  In particular, Davis CERT has talked about doing this when the city receives a large number of volunteers that want to help.  The thought is that a CERT member could each lead a group of volunteers.  What are you thoughts and conecrns about this subject?



Now we will begin CERT team roll calls, grouped by participating City CERT teams.  We will take any late or missing members after roll call finishes.  After roll call, we will call for visiting stations.

- if dark, control over less people
    - 3-6 people?
