5 Minutes Before

Attention all stations. The Sacramento Valley Multi-city CERT net will begin on the K6MVR repeater at 20:00 hours local time. Thank you in advance for the use of this frequency. This is NAME, CALLSIGN, net control for this evening and standing by for the net.

Introduction

Good evening, this is the Sacramento Valley Multi-City Community Emergency Response Team net. I am NAME, CALL, net control for this evening. This net is for Sacramento Valley CERT teams and residents to discuss aspects of community supported emergency operations in the greater Sacramento area. It meets every Sunday night at 20:00 hours on the K6MVR repeater on a frequency of 147.000 MHz, and a minus offset with a CTCSS tone of 136.5 hertz.

Is there any emergency or priority traffic that needs to be handled first?

• [pause and listen for 10 seconds for any emergency traffic that needs to be handled]

Every week we will have a discussion topic or question for net participants to respond to, about CERT related activities and skills, emergency preparedness, fictitious situations to consider or about current events within the Sacramento Valley. These discussion topics and simulations are designed to promote thought and discussion. As a reminder, CERT teams never self deploy and always take actual actions and direction from their overseeing agency. After roll call, we will ask each station to respond to the question and hold a discussion based on it. After roll call and discussions, we will open the net to any stations with other announcements or traffic.

Today’s question is:

Our question tonight was suggested by Gary, WA6TQJ. Thank you for the question Gary!

Under what conditions do you think our local city, county, state and country should consider 're-opening' for increased business and returning to more normal ways of life. What stages/steps do you think are necessary? What is your personal opinion on the subject. Please limit this discussion to just your thoughts, refraining from political statements.

We now ask Davis City CERT members to check into the net.

Title	Callsign	Name	Checkedin	Notes
	WS6Z	Wes Hardaker		ideally based on the number of open beds in hospitals
	KG6SJT	Greg Kruckewitt		CDC guidelines are straight forward can hospitals handle an increased rate testing people is needed contact tracing is needed
	W6KJX	Lucile King		Currently being opened way too quickly Wait until possibility of infection is low sustained reduction of cases for 14 days
