I now know the problems our FEMA friends have logging in. We are trying furiously to get online but the program says we are logged on. Sorry to disappoint everyone. 12:22:45 PM Amy Sebring:I am sorry Angela...we are supposed to spell out acronyms. 12:23:08 PM Amy Sebring:RSVP=Retired and Seniors Volunteer Program 12:23:17 PM Amy Sebring:Many communities have this program in place. 12:24:05 PM Newmanha:? 12:24:05 PM Angela Bowen:Do you have contact information for materials, etc? I'd be interested as we are preparing to do a huge campaign and that's a good target audience. 12:24:13 PM Amy Sebring:I also heard about a video made up the coast, where they showed a family doing everything wrong! 12:24:42 PM Amy Sebring:Our program is administered by our municipal senior services program Angela. 12:24:56 PM Beth Armstrong:? 12:25:05 PM Amy Sebring:You may also have an Area Agency on Aging office to contact. 12:25:16 PM Amy Sebring:Newmanha. 12:25:28 PM Newmanha:Yes. Sorry. It's Hal Newman. 12:25:40 PM Amy Sebring:Hello Hal. 12:25:59 PM Amy Sebring:Sorry to hear about your gas explosion. You had a comment? 12:26:07 PM Newmanha:Could you provide me with more info on RSVP--35% of our residents are 65+. 12:26:43 PM Amy Sebring:I have a website address that can get you some info about programs in your area. 12:26:58 PM Amy Sebring:Let me look it up and post it before the session is over. 12:27:05 PM Amy Sebring:Beth, you had a comment. 12:27:07 PM Newmanha:Thank you. 12:27:10 PM Beth Armstrong:There will be lots of other good ideas on outreach-type programs in the next FEMA "Compendium of Exemplary Practices" which should be out later in the Summer. Check out the FEMA website. 12:27:51 PM Amy Sebring:That's true Beth... 12:28:05 PM Amy Sebring:also there are a number of good ideas on the FEMA CD-ROM 12:28:17 PM Ron Kruml:? 12:28:22 PM Amy Sebring:Yes Ron. 12:28:33 PM Sue Wheeler:The first challenge given to participants here at EMI is, given the fact that most people think disasters -- test. 12:29:28 PM Ron Kruml:You know, all of us are providing some type of public education program. 12:30:04 PM Ron Kruml:I would like to know what EMI will do to support those of use who actually provide these programs? 12:30:08 PM Amy Sebring:Well, since we can't seem to get thru from the conference at the moment, would like to hear what you are doing in your communities. 12:30:53 PM Ron Kruml:There is a vast difference between training available to fire safety educators from USFA and disaster educators from EMI. 12:30:56 PM Amy Sebring:Many communities have been impacted this spring with severe storms.. 12:31:14 PM Newmanha:Neighbourhood Emergency Services Teams are an outgrowth of our experience with the Ice Storm. 12:31:20 PM Amy Sebring:I think we have a heightened awareness just because of the news coverage... 12:31:36 PM Amy Sebring:an audience ripe to listen perhaps. 12:31:56 PM Newmanha:We're training neighbourhoods to be able to react to their immediate concerns and triage calls for the career emergency services. 12:31:59 PM Angela Bowen:? 12:32:02 PM Amy Sebring:Hal, is that similar to the Community Emergency Response Teams. 12:32:27 PM Newmanha:Our program is modeled after the American CERT program... 12:32:42 PM Newmanha:I guess I should mention that we're up in Montréal. 12:32:52 PM Amy Sebring:Bien venue! 12:33:02 PM Amy Sebring:Angela, you had a comment? 12:33:03 PM Newmanha:Merci bien. Thank you very much. 12:33:15 PM Isabel McCurdy:Bonjour. Another Canadian. 12:34:07 PM Amy Sebring:Is anyone doing any special outreach on the tornado hazard this year?? 12:34:27 PM Angela Bowen:Amy, I'm glad to hear that you feel you have an audience ripe to listen, but here in northern CA, that doesn't seem to be the case, which is why I'm here. We have an organization called BayNET, Bay Area Neighborhood Emergency Trainers and we're from all over. We are all experiencing a lack of interest and participation. Help!!! 12:35:05 PM Amy Sebring:I expect Californians to be almost inured to it Angela... 12:35:12 PM Amy Sebring:disaster du jour... eg 12:35:19 PM Newmanha:Even with the recent Ice Storm situation-- emergency training is still a relatively tough sell. 12:35:31 PM Angela Bowen:This is especially puzzling because we have been inundated by water from all sources. You think that would help but it seems to have hurt. We are seeing more of a defeatest attitude than a willingness to participate in CERT training. 12:35:52 PM Newmanha:We find the Seniors are the folks pushing for the most training... 12:36:24 PM John Hayden:? 12:36:34 PM robertlecky:Unless your community has funded an emergency manager you can forget coordinated responses. 12:36:49 PM Newmanha:And so we modified your CERT program for Senior's residences and apartment buildings. And we continue to get requests for training and emergency checklists. 12:37:10 PM Amy Sebring:John Hayden 12:38:33 PM Amy Sebring:Did you have a comment John? 12:38:38 PM John Hayden:here ih Kissimme we had a tornado with 34 deaths AT first we had little response to trainning, but we enlisted the help of the amiture community, and we now have a very largre class starting in the next few months 12:39:11 PM John Hayden:sorry lagged usintg the html 12:39:16 PM Angela Bowen:? 12:39:28 PM Amy Sebring:We are having a tougher time getting educational materials (free) ... 12:39:37 PM Amy Sebring:are you having that experience? 12:39:41 PM Ron Gloshen:FEMA and the American Red Cross have provided the jointly developed brochures, such as "Your Family Disaster Plan," in the past at no cost to the emergency management community. The present effort seems to be to provide the brochures in camera ready copy, on the FEMA web page or on CD. I know that here in Utah, we have given out thousands of the various brochures. Considering the limited budgets of most emergency management agencies, has this or will this slow or stop the disemination of thi 12:40:31 PM Newmanha:Have you explored corporate underwriting for emergency info publishing needs? 12:40:38 PM Amy Sebring:We need to find some more cost effective ways to communicate... 12:40:54 PM Amy Sebring:We skipped Angela... 12:41:03 PM Amy Sebring:please jump in here Angela. 12:41:27 PM Amy Sebring:I have my eye on NOAA radio for this purpose! 12:41:33 PM Angela Bowen:Hal, how have you modified the CERT program for seniors and apartment building? I'd be interested in seeing copies of the newly developed materials. 12:41:34 PM John Hayden:due tothe tornado, and the resulting response from ALL involved the red cross has increased its number of classes, and types available here in the Orlando area 12:42:25 PM Newmanha:Please email me at Newmanha@mail.cum.qc.ca. I'll be happy to zap you our curricula work-ups. 12:42:26 PM Seminole:The big problem in Osceola County was the complete failure of the County to follow the All-Hazards approach to Emergency Management. They had put too much focus on the issue of, "What do we do with people fleeing the coast in a hurricane?" They never thought they would be ground zero for anything! 12:42:48 PM Amy Sebring:Let's hear from a few of the folks who have not spoken up yet... 12:42:58 PM Amy Sebring:what are you trying out in your community? 12:43:10 PM Amy Sebring:Who can help with getting your message out? 12:43:25 PM Ron Gloshen:I believe using corporate sponsorship is a good idea but is time consuming, as is going through the process of printing your own brochures. 12:43:35 PM Amy Sebring:What kind of a job does the media do with this? 12:44:05 PM Amy Sebring:Have you seen it work? That is, someone listened and it helped them? 12:44:28 PM Amy Sebring:Will the hoopla about Project Impact help focus attention? 12:44:47 PM robertlecky:Media is real good in south florida on hurricanes. Message gets old though 12:45:18 PM Amy Sebring:Yes, have people heard it so many times that they tune out? 12:45:21 PM Newmanha:Media is wonderful when we need them. Media roulette when we don't. 12:46:04 PM John Hayden:here in Orlando the local news has carried clips of the skywarn and othner trainning we have done this HAS helped us as the people want to know more 12:46:13 PM Diane Merten:In Benton County Oregon we have an Emergency Management Council that has been in place since early 1991 and we work pretty closely with local business and with Oregon State University and with the local school districts. And we have just received the designation as a Project Impact community. 12:46:20 PM robertlecky:Media also play up the event to their own advantage and our disadvantage. 12:46:34 PM Amy Sebring:Congratulations Diane and good luck!! 12:46:39 PM Newmanha:Sorry--what is Project Impact? 12:46:49 PM Ron Gloshen:I believe that Project Impact coverage in our media gives the community the impression that government will solve the problem. 12:46:50 PM Amy Sebring:It is a FEMA initiative... 12:47:07 PM Amy Sebring:whereby one county or city in each state is selected to be a pilot.. 12:47:11 PM robertlecky:Good point, never thought of that 12:47:18 PM Amy Sebring:see http://www.fema.gov/impact.htm 12:47:28 PM Newmanha:Thank you 12:47:42 PM Amy Sebring:Do you emphasize personal family responsibility in your message? 12:48:00 PM robertlecky:absolutely 12:48:16 PM Christopher:Regarding project impact I was surprised to read that the communities were invited. It seemed to imply that they had not joined, but were being asked to join. Is this correct? 12:48:31 PM Angela Bowen:In a city with 850,000 people and an emergency management offfice that staffs three full time employees and an executive secretarry - You bet! 12:48:32 PM Amy Sebring:That is my understanding Christopher... 12:48:39 PM Amy Sebring:is that correct Diane? 12:49:32 PM Diane Merten:We have been invited to participate and it needs to be that way because of the money match that is required. 12:49:41 PM Amy Sebring:It is also my understanding that any community can become a Project Impact city.... 12:50:02 PM Amy Sebring:and be designated as such, but will not be eligible for a grant this year. 12:50:13 PM Angela Bowen:In San Jose, we also have 51 identified languages spoken. No way we can afford to accommodate everyone, can be a big problem for us. For example, we can only do our CERT program in English now, but try to translate at least a couple of flyers in 5-10 languages. Way too expensive. Ideas? 12:50:15 PM Amy Sebring:I am thinking it may be worth it just for the publicity. 12:50:24 PM Diane Merten:The guide book for becoming a disaster resistant community is on the web and can be downloaded in full color. 12:50:54 PM Amy Sebring:Yes, that must be tough Angela re many languages spoken. 12:51:01 PM Newmanha:Hey, if french is one of those languages, Angela, we've got you covered. 12:51:08 PM Ron Kruml:? 12:51:13 PM Amy Sebring:Yes Ron. 12:51:33 PM Angela Bowen:I'm always looking for opportunities to practice my French. Want to invite me up? 12:51:34 PM Ron Kruml:Do we know if the conference folks are back online? 12:51:46 PM Amy Sebring:Ron, it is not looking good... 12:52:02 PM Newmanha:No problem. We can work out an exchange. 12:52:07 PM Amy Sebring:let me tell you though that there is an Act Now mailing list available from our website... 12:52:24 PM Amy Sebring:and that we are supposed to be helping to distribute the newsletter from the conference. 12:52:25 PM Ron Kruml:Thanks for your efforts. 12:52:34 PM Amy Sebring:If you can subscribe to that mailing list, 12:52:43 PM Amy Sebring:then we hopefully will get you some news. 12:52:59 PM Amy Sebring:I apologize sincerely for the technical problems at that end... 12:53:08 PM Amy Sebring:most unfortunate... 12:53:17 PM Amy Sebring:however, we will try again tomorrow evening... 12:53:30 PM Amy Sebring:during our Thursday evening Round Table session. 12:53:30 PM Diane Merten:What's tomorrow evening? 12:53:41 PM John Hayden:? 12:53:42 PM Amy Sebring:We may be able to get a few folks on line with us off peak. 12:53:47 PM Amy Sebring:John 12:54:14 PM Amy Sebring:We also have a discussion group 12:54:31 PM John Hayden:would u have an idea at what time I can have others from my office here 12:54:32 PM Amy Sebring:for public education and outreach that you can reach off the home page. 12:54:54 PM Amy Sebring:John, Round Table is scheduled for 8:00 pm Eastern. 12:55:08 PM Amy Sebring:I will try to make sure they are using a dial up connection!! 12:55:11 PM John Hayden:thnx 12:55:28 PM Amy Sebring:We only have a couple of items posted in the Discussion Group... 12:55:41 PM Amy Sebring:but we would really like your participation and ideas shared that way also. 12:56:06 PM Amy Sebring:Let me get that URL I promised on the RSVP program... 12:56:15 PM Amy Sebring:I will be right back, feel free to chat. 12:56:43 PM Kevin Farrell:Sounds like EMI needs to rebuild their LAN.... 12:56:55 PM john vollmer:? 12:57:09 PM Kevin Farrell:go ahead John... 12:57:14 PM john vollmer:Here are a few things we are doing here in Washington State. We conducted a state -wide, month-long, multi- hazard "Prepare?Because You Care" campaign, a part of which is a state-wide Drop, Cover, and Hold earthquake drill broadcast on EAS. We estimate about 2 million participated this year. In our 1998 campaign, Oregon joined us on the Drop, Cover and Hold Drill. We also conducted a "Partners In Emergency Preparedness" conference this year in Bellevue. This was a partnership venture with t 12:58:14 PM Amy Sebring:Here it is http://www.cns.gov/senior/sc_rsvp.html 12:58:26 PM Amy Sebring:This is a state directory of RSVP programs 12:59:09 PM Kevin Farrell:Amy... John was making a comment while you were out... 12:59:12 PM Newmanha:Merci, Amy. Have an excellent day. 12:59:17 PM john vollmer:This was a partnership venture with the ARC, Washington State Emergency Management Association and State Emergency Management Division. In addition, through another partnership with Puget Sound Energy and King County Fire and Life Safety and state EMD, we conducted an outreach program with the elementary schools using a supper hero character (the Preventor) and brought a school assembly program to over 100,000 children. Just a few of the many things going on here. 12:59:55 PM Amy Sebring:Sounds like you are doing some imaginative things John. 01:00:03 PM Amy Sebring:I like the supper hero!! 01:00:31 PM Kevin Farrell:2 million participants? That's great. 01:00:58 PM john vollmer:He is big, but he is really a super hero and not a .... 01:01:22 PM Amy Sebring:I knew what you meant John...just making a small joke. 01:02:26 PM Amy Sebring:Thank you all so much for being here today. 01:02:36 PM robertlecky:BYE 01:02:38 PM Amy Sebring:Again, sorry for the tech problems at EMI 01:02:48 PM Amy Sebring:Will try again tomorrow evening. 01:03:07 PM Amy Sebring:And the Act Now update will also be posted in our Virtual Library... 01:03:11 PM Amy Sebring:when I get it! 01:03:39 PM Amy Sebring:I am going to get some lunch now. 01:03:47 PM Joanne McGlown:Thanks, Amy.

Still looking for pub ed information. 01:11:39 PM AK Miller:Someone mentioned corporate sponsorship in the discussion ... We took the FEMA backgroungers and reworked them for our location and produced a all hazards handbook for eash household and covered the expense with advertizing dollars 01:12:40 PM Angela Bowen:How did the handbooks get distributed? 01:12:50 PM Angela Bowen:What about the language barriers? 01:13:33 PM AK Miller:In the newspaper and with the dor to door ads and US mail some people got several 01:14:41 PM Angela Bowen:Who did the door-to-door?
