Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
The pandemic has caused in-person groups like CERT troubles in keeping energy going.  What has worked for your group and what hasn't?  What's happened to  your group's general attendance and training, etc?  What could be improved.



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.


Davis City CERT
-------------------------------
We now ask Davis City CERT members to check into the net.

Checkins:
 WS6Z Wes Hardaker

- Davis had plans for another training class, right before the pandemic and it got cancelled.
- In general, Davis hasn't been that active lately as in-person meetings died away generally.

 KK6POX Heather Spaulding

- also caused a strain on resources like fire departments too, which may have contributed to the downfall of many side-projects like CERT.
