MailTribune.com: CERT: In Case of Emergency: "It's only a matter of time before a major wildfire or flood slams into Ashland, so the city's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is busy organizing people into groups that have survival kits, know where everyone's children, old people and animals are, know how to turn off water, electricity and gas, and have gotten to know each other by first name.
It's called Map Your Neighborhood and it happens at block parties where people organize potlucks, say howdy, learn how to reduce fire hazards in yards, and gain confidence they can make use of the so-called Golden Hour — the first hour after disaster strikes — to save lives and homes, says CERT Program Coordinator Lucy Edwards."
