Opening Announcements
-------------------------------
It's been a month since our last covid-19 checkin and I said then that we'd do monthly checkins until things got better.  So tonight, I'd like to hear a brief update on how everyone is fairing, lessons you've learned, things you're still struggling with, etc.

CERT teams?



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.
