Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
As a result of the last week's storms, many communities lost power outages, had trees fall, etc.  What outages and damages have you experienced in your neighborhood?

As a reminder: we regularly do these storm reports after major storm series to understand their impact across the entire valley.  Storms can cause isolated damage and it's important to realize when our local neighborhood might have fared well when others have not.



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.
