community preparedness

The next meeting is Sunday afternoon, October 11th at 4:00pm.

I have rented the Darby Community Clubhouse for October 11th and 25th from 4:00pm – 6:00pm.
I have reserved the Clubhouse for November 8th, 22nd, December 6th and 20th.
I have agreed to pay $70 monthly for two meetings per month.
We now have a meeting room that can handle a good-sized group.
I no longer have to be afraid of success in advertising these meetings.

At our meeting last Saturday, Rick Floch gave us an overview of the system pioneered by western forest service fire fighters that quickly brings order and organization out of chaos. I loved it. We are going to use it in a table-top exercise at our next meeting, October 11th.

Rick will lead us through the exercise. We will fill the various positions on the organization chart and play the roles so we can learn how it works and how to apply it to our needs.

I have refined the Stone Soup Kitchen flier. I encourage you to print one or more copies and talk with likely candidates who might run a neighborhood kitchen. We need to recruit kitchens to make this work.

We will talk a bit about what should be in the vehicles you drive in Montana winters. Last meeting we went through “get home” and “everyday” bags. Suggested content lists will be available.
