Longview Hills @ Newport Oregon

Results of the latest poll. If you look at each of the questions carefully we think you might see that any of them could be done now. We were trying to show you the flexibility the community gains with the new Neighborhood Watch Radio Network. You can probably see many more uses and as Block Captains and Coordinators your challenge will be to develop and improve this system to get as much from it as you can.

The CERT team will continue to monitor the system to be of service to the community but the network belongs to the Neighborhood Watch Team. All of the coordinators for Neighborhood Watch have been CERT team members but the two duties conflict with one another. CERT will continue to be closely allied with Neighborhood Watch but the team needs to be continuously focused on CERT and so new Neighborhood Watch Coordinators are being recruited.

Currently CERT has divided the park into 3 sub areas. Each of those area have a coordinator for Neighborhood Watch. Area 3 from Windmill south is now covered by Jackie Memoli and Ruthanne Carson. Area 2 from the clubhouse north to the lake is covered by Rod McCready who is CERT and his Neighborhood Watch Coordinator duties conflict with CERT duties.. so look for a change there soon. Marlene Crites is serving as Neighborhood Watch Coordinator north of the lake but like Rod McCready her CERT duties are in conflict with Neighborhood Watch so look for a change there soon also.

With the addition of the radio network and streamlined job discriptions, new notification proceedures and overall Neighborhood Watch structure revamping. CERT's job redefining Neighborhood Watch is coming to a close. The community must now take over this vital function. It is so easy now and takes almost no time at all. CERT remains ready to assist Neighborhood Watch and vice versa.. We are now partners but with different missions.

You see a strange car parked in the driveway of a neighbor. You know the neighbor is in wyoming on vacation... What can you do?
