This message is to remind everyone about the upcoming emergency response exercise that will take place Sunday February 21, 2021 at 3pm. This exercise will help us improve our communications and identify ways to improve our response in the event of an actual widespread emergency. The exercise is being done on a Stake level. We have also reached out to the Village Community Church and they are participating in the exercise as well.
Initially we were going to utilize the ministering brethren to facilitate the physical canvasing of our ward as part of this exercise. THAT HAS BEEN REVISED. Our ward boundaries have been divided geographically into six areas. Each area has an individual assigned to it who will perform a visual check of each home from the road.
As part of this exercise we are asking you to display a colored piece of paper in a main window, or door, that is visible from the road. Each captain will drive by, look for the paper, and report what they observe.
We are using three different colors to indicate the status of each home: green - all is well; yellow - help is needed, but not critical; red - critical help is needed. Please display a green paper, UNLESS you are specifically asked to display a different color. IF you are asked to display a yellow or red paper, expect the area captain to physically stop and gather more information.
Please remember that this is only an exercise, and not an actual emergency. Do not rely on this exercise if you experience an actual emergency situation during this time frame, dial 911.
Colored paper is being distributed at the church, and is available for you to pick up. If you will be unable to obtain colored paper on your own, please let your ministering brothers or sisters know so they may assist as needed. Feel free to share this information with your neighbors.
Thanks,
Doug Pincock
