Each year, RSCA provides all homes and businesses in Redwood Shores with a RED/GREEN Disaster Signal Card designed to help emergency responders quickly assess who needs immediate help and who is OK, in a disaster scenario, and for use in drills occasionally. This year, it was printed in the center page of this PILOT, so you can tear it out and keep it (and hopefully never need the red side). Please keep this card where you can locate it quickly. Also keep tape nearby so that you can quickly put it where it can be seen clearly from the street. This may be in a front window or on your front or garage door depending on the layout of your particular neighborhood. If you need assistance, this card will help get the quickest response. The card should not be displayed year-round.
“Show Your Cards” Drill on November 13th!
On Saturday, November 13th please display your GREEN/OK card where it can be
seen from the street so that local CERT and RSCA volunteers can conduct our annual “windshield survey” of the Shores. “Show Your Cards” on November 13th to show that you read The PILOT, and are committed to preparedness and safety.
With changes to city and county fire protection services, public safety power shutoff warnings, and small earthquakes occurring recently, it is more important than ever for Shores residents to prepare for a range of situations. There are some safety issues unique to the Shores, and residents should be aware and plan ahead to stay safe. Please review information in the November edition of The PILOT, and consider disaster plans for your home/family.
If you or someone in your family is a trained CERT member, please contact with your name, neighborhood and years of CERT experience. RSCA is trying to re-establish a who’s who for disaster preparedness leaders in our area since the city of Redwood City and San Mateo County restructured the CERT program last year. Thanks in advance for your help.
