Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
Consider the situation where you've been assigned to a large responsibility and there simply isn't enough help, either professionally or via volunteer recruitment on scene.  In such an overwhelming situation, what techniques can you use to mentally protect yourself against exhaustion, guilt, overwhelmingness, regret, anger and the slew of other negative emotions you will likely feel.



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.
