why did you decide to train to be on the nert team. >> i was commuting with a friend and i announced i was pregnant he said there is no way a responsible moerth should be ready for an oerth quake. we pushed me to get training. i took the nert training probably 2 weeks later. and this month after month, year after year you go to another drill and you join your 5 find new fáfriends. involved in nert it's helped you get to know your neighborhood better and it made your neighborhood stronger? >> yes, we moved to another neighborhood in the city what i really like, i met people i would have not met. it's people i don't work with or go to the same churcho shop at the same place but they are on my street. it's the people that we worsen the disaster on my house or help me after a disaster. i have to choose if they are my friends or enemies. in training you help each pn÷Û-, which is great. a$ñ that's what it's all about it people coming together, for the first 72 hours you need to pull together; right . >> it's about resources being stretched too thinw3 in. after math everyone is trying to ge

we are trying to start a team nert training program in the high schools. the health and science requirement is somewhat of a fit but whenever you add something to the school curriculum you take something away it's an about the of a bit and take. lincoln and washington high school are the 2 high schools that have hosted nert for their high school students. >> if you are parents or have connections with schools talk to the principals and school board and advocate for preparedness. if we get third graders trained they will go home and say where's our water. do we know how to turn off the gas or where will we meet. be the voice if promoting that in the schools. we have the information available we need help getting in the door. >> one more thing is many of the nert cites are rec and park cites. we have an emergency permit on file with rec and park for use of the cites. >> and in terms of rec and park most of the rec and park employees have gone through or going through training through the red cross. they are tied in to this they are a very strong partner. >>

the team aspect of nert really is the community. keep that in mind today as we are all talking. >> jamie. >> hi. i'm jamie lopez. i'm the nert coordinator for hay hayes valley. before i start off on my rant i wanted to acknowledge most of what i will talk about was built and developed with a neighboring coordinator in the lower hate who was at the morning session but not here today. anything i say give her equal credit for what works and doesn't work. so i'm going to start from the assumption that you have some training or you will begin out reach in your neighborhood. for us where that started was at a basis of 0. there was no active coordinator in the neighborhood at the time. we decided to take it on. so our first priority was justifying a way of getting the information out. how do we connect with people in the neighborhood? where are the places we can go? what are the resources that already exist? we started with the farmers market. getting a free table from the guy who organized it and giving out information. that lead to other

the group is called nert, standing for neighborhood emergency response team. organizers say it's no coincidence today's drill comes on the eve of the anniversary of the lolaprieta earthquake. >> every april, which commemorates the 1906 earthquake, and every october, we focus as the big refreshers to everyone. throughout the year we offer other trainings and skills, but those are the two big ones. >> the citywide drill has been held since 1992. more than 20,000 people have been trained to step in and help in the event of a disaster. the training is free and opened to anyone interested. >>> giants fever is in full effect tonight. right now there may be one place in the bay area you can find an equal number of phillies fans and giants fans in close proximity to each other. that's at kisar pub in san francisco. the pub is packed with baseball fans watching the teams compete, and the national league championship series. the pub has become a favorite hangout for fans of the phillies and it's where many of them watched their team win the world series in 2008. today s
