The second Disaster Preparedness Informational Meeting was held on September 24, 2016 at the Christian Life Center in Port Orchard. We had another good turnout, including Owners and Renters. The meeting lasted approximately two hours. Committee Chairman Jack Cahoon covered in detail the Map Your Neighborhood program outlined in previous meeting minutes. All meeting attendees were provided with handout brochures prepared by FEMA and Kitsap County, to help prepare themselves for dealing with a disaster. We will need to be our own first responders in the first hours and for perhaps several days after a disaster strikes, as emergency responders from outside Sinclair Heights (police, fire, medical, utilities) will be tied up elsewhere.
Jack Cahoon also gave a brief overview of what we are doing and handed out more informational brochures at the annual HOA Picnic held at the Medallion Common Area on Sept. 10, 2016.
Another identical two hour Informational Meeting will be scheduled for mid November, before everyone gets busy with Holiday activities, tentatively set for November 12, 2016. We will email/mail everyone the specifics for this third Informational Meeting.
ARE YOU READY when disaster strikes? Please join your neighbors in this worthwhile preparation event. We hope to see any of you who did not attend our first two Informational Meetings attend our third Informational Meeting.
Thank you,
Sinclair Heights Disaster Preparedness Planning Committee
