CERT Update:
The CERT team continues develop and put in place its emergency plan. A major problem was how we were going to evacuate the severely injured and pick up supplies from a Coast Guard or other helicopter. Recent developments in the park took our only site away with the addition of new houses on 54th st. We have one site where they can lower and retrieve a basket but that limits what can be done.. It would be the area behind the clubhouse.
Recently, we spoke to the owner of the golf course via email asking if he would consider being our helicopter landing zone. We were pretty darned happy about the results. One neighbor remarked at the Spring dinner last night that I must be sleeping a lot easier now.. You know what? We think a lot of folks can rest easier now thanks to the generosity of the golf course owner, Terry Martin. Below is his email. If you play golf or use the course and see him.. Take time to thank him on behalf of all of us... He's a good one.
We would be happy to have our property used for a landing site in case of emergency. Our driving range would be the best location, close to the highway. Or even the area in front of our clubhouse. we have used both ares in the past for helicopter landing sites. If you need anything else from me don't hesitate to call.
best regards,
Terry Martin
