Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
What forms of communication does your CERT team use during call-outs, and how do you balance traffic between the different forms.  For example, when do you use ham radio instead of CERT radios, or cell phones instead of either.



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.
