Dear Friends:

We will NOT have the usual “Virtual” NW-CERT meeting this month of April. 

 

BUT - Instead of our meeting,

we shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday 20 April at 1PM.   

Everyone is invited.  Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue.

We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich.

 

Back to “instead of our usual meeting”

We shall conduct our annual Utility Safety Ride on Tuesday the 20th of April at 1PM sharp.

Everyone is invited. 

Meet us by the Retzlaff Hall side door on Michigan Avenue.

We will have an interesting Golf Cart ride viewing our Utility Pads, Transformers and etc. – most informative thanks to Kathy Wunderlich.

​

If Sunshine has an “issue” this summer, such as a power or flooding condition – we are in it until professional help arrives.  So, sharpen up your learning curve and join us.  See how we can immediately respond safely at the scene.  For instance, stay away from downed power lines or report a downed line.  On the other hand, if water is running wildly down the street or a gas odor is detected – take appropriate action. Your safety is job one. (Best to notify the Board or the Office before any action is taken. But if it is a case of serious emergency and if action was taken – make sure they become aware).

​

Another example - Did you know if you are in your car, if a power line falls on it, the car will channel electricity around you, so you will not get hurt?  You get help by honking the horn or yelling out the window – even use your phone.  Warn passersby NOT to come near your vehicle.  If you would have to exit your vehicle that is touching a power line, you would have to jump out of the car with both feet touching, and landing with both feet together, to avoid getting shocked – then shuffle away with both feet touching.

​

Take a look at some of the CERT materials available (for free). IS 317 - Introduction To Community Emergency Response Teams is a great start.

​

Also, take a peek at the AEP Web site – good info.  We shall all have fun learning about the dangers of Utility Poles, the anatomy of a Utility Pole, why they are dangerous – stray voltage, dangling wires, transformers and chemical toxins etc.
