Now that the 9/17/08 Ojai OK Drill is completed, The Office of Ventura County District Supervisor Steve Bennett is requesting participants to complete a survey. Surveys are being requested by October 3rd, 2008.
Survey participants would include everybody involved: Ojai Valley Residents who posted signs; Ojai Valley CERT participants; and others involved (Ham Radio, Red Cross, etc).
Please go to: http://ovok.countyofventura.org for the link to the survey.
As a bonus, this web-site conveniently has a link to the Reverse 911 signup site. I received my Reverse 911 call conveniently on my cellphone, so I know the system works.

This blog provides information to those interested in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) activities in The Ojai Valley, CA. CERT works in partnership with OVARC (Ojai Valley Amateur Radio Club) which provides Ham Radio Communications - http://www.ovarc.org/.
http://www.citizencorps.gov/cert is a good place to begin learning about CERT. The fact is, immediately after a major disaster, each of us will be on our own while Emergency Services Personnel (Fire, Hospital, Police, Hospitals, etc) figure out what happened and how to respond. CERT teaches valuable self-preservation skills and empowers each of us to be of service to ourselves, family, neighborhood and community. By integrating CERT with Ham Radio, citizens can effectively communicate actionable information from the field to the Emergency Operations Center -- help will be on the way sooner.
Please check out the CERT Calendar & Map at the bottom of this web-page and sign our Guestbook (top right of page).
