Sept. 9 Communication Plan at Relief Society

You are invited:

Family Communication Plan: Have One Before Disaster Strikes!,
Taught by Phyllis B.
In a disaster will you know how to contact your family? Will they know where you are? Will they know your plans? Will your cell phone work?...

Morrisville Relief Society evening meeting, Thursday Sept. 9, 2010, 7 pm. in the Morrisville building RS room. Guests, and members of the Green Level ward are also invited.


Description:
Your immediate family might not be together when disaster strikes, or may become separated by the event. Your concerned loved ones outside the affected area will want to know of your safety and whereabouts. This class will discuss emergency communication options, including the RedCross Safe and Well Website, that should be part of every family’s emergency preparedness plan.


Bio: Phyllis B. is a member of the Cary I Ward and is currently an Institute teacher. She became a Red Cross volunteer with the Triangle Area Chapter in 2003. Phyllis is currently the Chapter’s Safe and Well Linking Activity Lead, which assists people in areas impacted by a disaster to contact and be reunified with their family members.

She is also a member of a night Disaster Action Team which provides support to families impacted by a house fire. In 2005 she worked in the Wake County shelter and service center for Katrina evacuees. She also deployed for a couple of weeks to the devastated areas of Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, where she saw disaster devastation first hand.

(Sorry, I don't put last names on this blog. To find out her last name, see ward calendar.)
