WINTER THREATS!
April 1, 2017
From: Allen James
Some folks have read my January newsletter and have planned their CPR/First Aid training during the first quarter of the 2017. Bravo to them! However, some of you may have forgotten the 2 year cycle of your CPR/First Aid training certifications. Are you due this year? Let us NOT have any last minute calendar surprises. We still have dates open for 2017, so call or email with any date requests or questions you may have.
Remember, we have quality instruction with a focus on orchestrating learning that includes a process on how to ”think” about an emergency and then providing a “tool box” of CPR and First Aid skills. This training prepares your employees to respond to both corporate and individual emergencies and enables them to prepare their families for natural disasters. What a wonderful benefit to pass onto your employees’ families.
How Can Your Smart Phone be of Help during an Emergency.
Do you know who answers your cell phone when you call 911? Well, now you know – the California Highway Patrol (CHP) (except in Lake County and that is CAL Fire). They can get very busy at times and then transfer you back to your local 911 network after talking to you. Let us keep it simple. Consider putting the following on your contact directory:
- County Sheriff dispatch – Sonoma; 707-565-2121, Mendocino; 707-468-4288, Napa; 707-253-0911.
- Local city or town 7 digit emergency number.
- ICE (In Case of Emergency) and a person’s name connected to the phone number. Have a back-up ICE number.
- During a regional power outage, cell and cordless phones will not work. Use a land line phone with a corded handle. Responders will eventually erect cell towers, but you will only be able to text.
- Have in your cell phone, wallet, auto glove box, and child safety seat, a list of your medications and allergies including for children.
Postal Service or Email for Newsletters
Let me know your preference for receiving our newsletter. If you have received the newsletters via USPS and prefer e-mail, please e-mail me the e-mail address you wish or multiple addresses as needed. If you wish not to receive them at all, please let me know. If you have any subjects you wish me to look into, please send me your questions; others may have the same inquiries.
Be Safe!
As a first responder, your part in this process is crucial; that is why good training is critical. We can provide that training. Remember - Life Matters
