BDPNN

Community Planning Meeting for April 17 Emergency Exercise
2021-04-08 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Zoom
On April 17, BeCERTAINN will host a GMRS repeater radio communications exercise.
BDPNN is working to expand the exercise to the entire community to better prepare for and respond to an earthquake scenario, especially within a pandemic context!
We will meet as a community to offer suggestions and to hear ideas from the community as to how they can participate as individuals, as CERT groups, as households, as neighborhood groups.
Come and get ideas for how to structure your participation in this exercise, and come and share your thoughts and experience in participating in disaster response exercises.

BeCERTAINN Spring 2021 Emergency Radio Exercise
2021-04-17 09:00 - 12:00
BeCERTAINN will be running a repeater radio exercise to practice different disaster communication operating procedures. The aim of the exercise is to have participants from the greater Berkeley area simulate the types of operational procedures that may be required after a major earthquake. For the most up-to-date information on this radio exercise, and to register, see the BeCERTAINN event page.
BDPNN will be working to expand the exercise to coordinate the community at large to expand the exercise to include those with GMRS radios to “listen” as well as those without any radio experience, radio skills, or radio equipment. (See BDPNN’s community organizing event on April 8).
