Net Log: Sacramento Valley CERT Net About: Sacramento Valley CERT Net Date: Aug. 3, 2020 Net Control: WS6Z Log URL: https://log.hamtools.org/log/view/29 Opening Announcements ------------------------------- Imagine you're out of town on vacation or visiting friends (in the obvious distant future). You've taken only what you'd normally take on such a trip when suddenly a major catastrophe happens in your area. What would you be willing to do to help the local situation, if anything, given that you're out of your area and have no overseeing agency to give you directions and have just your skills. Do you hole up? Do you offer assistance to some organization? If you feel your answer must be situationally dependent, pick an example situation and state it before your answer. You have no rule book to follow for this one other than the good Samaritan law. 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.
