I hope I haven't been sending my emails to your old email. Sometimes I think the computers operate against us.
We had a meeting this evening. We talked about our general flow of operations following a mobilization to continue "streamlining" our operation. We're still working on each managers procedures and flow charts.
Thanks for sending your thoughts awhile back. I typed them up and will attach for your review and changes. As you read over your procedures, think about how they sound to a total stranger to your communications world......someone filling in as the communications manager when the big one hits.
We set up our next meeting for 11/1/16 at 5pm (location to be determined). We also talked about a table top exercise in early December.
I attended the DART exercise. It was very similar to last year. With every exercise (DART and WEACT) I take away the idea of streamlining the procedures and processes. Theoretically, most of us won't be able to get to the airport so we need to have a flow pattern for people to follow based on what we set up. DART was successful but they operate differently than WEACT will.
I spoke with Terry (can't remember his last name), their communications manager, about you. He is interested in coming over to Watsonville to take a look at your comm shack and see how we operate in the communications realm. I suggested he contact us for a visit sometime. Have you spoken with him? I'll let you know if he contacts me.
Hope you are well. See you in November!!
Marjorie
