there it is, a place for us to gather as nert members and there's our nert ics area. here is our structure. same kind of set up, sort of our version. command policy section, the planning group, they are up on top. then once things get rolling, you have your operations section, logistics section. here are our objectives on the nert team, figure out if it's big, if it's small, how do we keep track of what's going on? do we just remember it? are we going to rely on our computers, our pc's? no, we have to write it down the old-fashioned way. address, is there a fire, yes or no, damage, are there people injured, dead, can you get there. where, what, any sort of damage, are there people involved, can you get to it? here is a nert status sheet. basically if you send somebody out, you want to send the members' names, what time they went out, when they came back, what the assignment was, any comments, and if you have an incident number that would be nice. who is the safety person? we don't want to send people out, just hey, go do this. we want to keep track of it. if they don'

and the first thing we did because we are nert is encourage the nert training. the nert training works because it trains you to take care of yourself and can your family and be engaged with a wider neighborhood response to a disaster that happens in the city. and second of all, we encourage people to prepare a disaster kit. i'm sure you heard a lot but the buzz word is mitigation. there is a good reason because it's totally true. every person who has a kit for themselves and family mitigates the impact on themselves and their family and the resources in the neighborhood and the city and subsequent to a disaster it mitigates the impact on the city and how well we recover. it's an important thing that even if you can't get trained with the red cross or nert or other resource make sure you have a kit for yourself and family and a communication plan of how you will get in touch with each other after or days after or whatever. the next thing we did was we had meetings with erica and our local police chief kevin dylan and talked about safety issueses. we said, what ar

hey, nert team, nert volunteers. is anybody here? if you say let's call out, everyone is going to be calling out, hey, nert team. nobody can listen. hey, let's call out and give it a couple seconds, see if we can hear somebody. not only call out, make sure that you can listen, too. we want you to start your search from the top so if you go into the building, start from the top and then work your way back. we want you to do a left or right handed search pattern, meaning when you enter a room or a building, we want you to find a wall and stay on that wall. we want to have somebody stay on that wall because that wall will show you the way out. mark each individual unit so the x that i was talking about, if you go into a multi-unit apartment building, you with want to do it on each unit. so i go into this apartment, you're going to do a slash, go into the apartment, do your search, when you come out and complete the x. again at the top is the time that you entered. they want you to write the time that you leave also. so you would cross o

on the nert website you can see where all the nert staging areas are. and those are nert staging areas are out door spaces. those areas will not have to be inspected before we start setting up services there. or nert sets up services. the shelters have to be inspected. we have to stock them with cots and water and medical supplies and staff. that information is -- >> i wanted to remind you that the nert staging area is your neighbor's helping each other. and so they are not the place to go to show up with nothing to not help. they are the place where you go and say, what can i do. and how can i help? if you have a need you should let them know that. you are approaching your neighbors who had training and a conversation with each other. and that's our limitation and our strength. >> one. things you want to encourage people to do is do a map for your own neighborhood. there are resources that are not resource like nert. it's helpful to know if one neighbor was in the military and has lowgistic training or used to be a nert and had first aid training so yo

one of the things that when nert and your neighbors are nert that is the basis of training is to post a resource board where people can stick notes. your nert staging area the cites are on our website to get the know the neighbors who are trained and get trained to help build a krcritical mass. that's a place where people can stick notes on who's okay. >> out of area contact? >> as we discovered in katrina the out of area contacts are important for communication. because no one you couldn't call a new orleans area code it was not happening. he was able to reach myself in california and our aunt in dallas,texas on a land line. how many know their relatives phone numbers. i'm not meaning picking up your cell phone and clicking, mom. the red cross has a wallet card there is your emergency contact plan where you write down a land line number. we're discovering that text mess anning and e mails work. having the information in your son's back pack or your purse or the car in multiple places so you community with your out of state contact and through that you coordinate your reunionification
