Moraga to Form Neighborhood Emergency Preparedness Groups
Written by Frans Hoffman

On Tuesday evening, April 22nd, a well-attended meeting of CERT graduates decided to launch an outreach program in Moraga, modeled after the successful block organization that exists in Orinda. The purpose of the new neighborhood groups is to stimulate ongoing discussions on a neighborhood level regarding disaster preparedness, and inform the citizens about the CERT program and training opportunities.
You rely on smoke detectors to wake your family in case of fire and experts know they save lives. But parents, who count on that alarm to protect their children, must see the results of Hank Phillippi Ryan's dramatic test. One blaring smoke detector, five sleeping children. How many will wake up? Hank Investigates "A Cause for Alarm".
Rebekkah, age 12, sleeps peacefully in her Hanover home. What she doesn't know, right now, she's terrifying her parents.
We've set off the smoke alarm outside Rebekkah's bedroom to see if she'll wake up. For two solid minutes the alarm shrieks but Rebekkah doesn't move.
Two minutes later, no child has woken up. If this had been a real fire, they would have little or no chance of survival.
Tell your children how and when to call 9-1-1 or your local Emergency Medical Services number for help. Post other emergency telephone numbers by phones.
Help your children learn more about emergencies. Download a preparedness coloring book.
