| Once your CORE
Group has completed CORE I, II and III, and organized emergency
response teams, it is important to meet regularly to keep
information up-to-date and practice or upgrade your skills.
Activities that your group may consider:
|
- Participate in group first aid or CPR classes
- Take amateur radio classes
- Purchase emergency supplies wholesale and
schedule a time for everyone to assemble their emergency
packs or kits together
- Schedule a vegetation management workshop
- Participate in a Disaster First Aid workshop
- Conduct an evacuation planning meeting. Walk
through neighborhood to identify foot trails and possible
evacuation routes.
- Organize a tabletop discussion
- Conduct a neighborhood walk-through to identify
potential hazards and learn the location of gas, water and
electric shut-offs
- Create emergency scenarios and practice your
response skills
- Learn to use two-way radios and practice
with them in your neighborhood
- Take CORE Refresher classes and invite new
residents to join you
- Create a neighborhood newsletter and send
it by email
- Have a neighborhood potluck, block party
or other social activity
- Organize a neighborhood exercise
