Dear Salt Lake City Community Members,

 The 3rd Quarter 2011 Community Emergency Response Coordination Workshop has been scheduled.  Please join us at the workshop on Saturday, August 13, 2011.  Continental breakfast will be offered at 8:00 am.  Welcome and opening address will begin at 8:30.  This workshop is aimed at improving coordination and communication capabilities of Salt Lake City communities, neighborhoods, and businesses in emergency response, especially through CERT.

This workshop is for anyone interested in community emergency response and post-disaster communications capabilities in Salt Lake City.

The Salt Lake City Office of Emergency Management is pleased to report that CERT, Mobile Watch, and other religious and non-governmental organizations throughout the City are continuing to be established, while coordination of communications continues to be a high priority.  We ask the community councils for assistance in finding representatives in every neighborhood to participate in these efforts.  We also encourage everyone involved with other community groups interested in emergency preparedness (such as churches) to attend as it is vital that we coordinate with existing plans and efforts.

Didn’t attend the previous workshops?  No problem.  Please join us at this one!  Pass this on to anyone you feel would have an interest in emergency response.

Please RSVP as soon as possible by replying to John Flynt (john.flynt@slcgov.com) and  include “will attend breakfast” or “meeting only” in the subject line.
