Hey sudoers! This email is to remind y'all that this Thursday, Feb 21st from 6:30-9pm we will be holding our first CORE (Communities of Oakland Respond to Emergencies) class at sudo room (which will actually be taking place in the Public School's room as they're hosting a poetry reading that same evening). This is the first in a series of three classes offered by Oakland's First Responders. This class will cover basics of self-reliance in the event of a disaster or emergency that could take out power and other essential infrastructure for up to weeks at a time. The CORE I class teaches students how to prepare a family disaster plan, reduce common household hazards, create emergency supply kits, and respond to a number of possible emergencies, including earthquakes and fires. To RSVP, please email me directly.
