Hey all, in case you misses CORE I or CORE II trainings, we can jump into this one being put in in ny neighborhood // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 8:14 PM Subject: bringing CORE trainings to our 'hood Hi Adams Point friends and neighbors, I think many of you know that Andrew and I have been participating in the Fire Dept's free community disaster preparation training over the last few months. With the threat of fire looming over us (in addition to earthquakes), we feel some increased urgency in making sure we, as neighbors are prepared. We've been working with some other neighbors to bring CORE I and II trainings right here to Adams Point on Sat, March 1st at the Bellevue Club. In the event of a disaster, like a fire or earthquake, we will be on our own for 7-10 days.... So this is a great opportunity for us to prepare as neighbors. We must register - follow the link here or below: http://gatheringadamspoint.wordpress.com.. Also, if you are interested, but can't make the date, the FD has additional trainings scheduled at other locations: http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/fire/documents/webcontent/oak04420… I hope you'll think about joining for at least CORE I - the morning training. Please forward to others who you think may be interested.
