                                                                        Shake Out

                                                         2016

Place one of the Emergency Ribbons so that your Block Captains can see it from the street.

The Block Captain will report the neighbors in his/her block ribbon colors displayed to the Precinct Comms (neighborhood or ward communications operator).

Then the Precinct Comms will report all the blocks in their Precinct (neighborhood or ward) ribbon colors to the District Comms (another word for Stake Communications Operator).
The District Comms will report the collected data from the Precincts to the City Comms or EOC (Emergency Operations Center)
Voila! Crossing fingers and toes that the process works! We will all learn so much.
All Block Captains are encouraged to meet together with their Precinct Leaders to document their experience right after the drill. (this should only take about 20 min)
Document where the black areas in the Precinct are for transmission on the walkie talkies, was the transmission understandable? what needs to be worked on?  Were the ribbons seen from the road? What did we learn? etc.
Follow up is so valuable and can be built upon for the next drill.
After the drill is over, all residents are encouraged to place their ribbon used back with the entire Emergency Ribbon packet, so it is ready for the next drill, or maybe (oh no, don't say it!) Earthquake or Event.
