R U A SCANNER DOG?

Scanner dogs are people who listen to radio scanners to hear what's going on in the community. They know what the police are doing and the sheriff, fire department, ambulance, rescue teams, PUD, Coast Guard and all manner of agencies.

Not only is it interesting but can be very helpful during power outages and severe weather.. Keeps you abreast of what's going on.

One of the things that all these agencies use to identify where they are is to give their position reports as next to such and such mileage marker. Now, thanks to Dan Wilson for getting us a copy of those locations and to Barb Dudley for retyping it as a google document and publishing it to the internet we have a link we can use to make a copy of those locations any time we want.

Look on the left just above the CERT Logo and you will find our new Scanner Dog link...
Our Thanks to Dan and Barb.
