Stop the Bleed is put on by the American College of Surgeons and has trained over one million people in the US.

You will learn three techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out:
    How to use your hands to apply pressure to a wound
    How to pack a wound to control bleeding
    How to correctly apply a tourniquet.

These three techniques will empower you to assist in an emergency and potentially save a life.

The Emergency Preparedness Committee

For your benefit, a new document has been posted on our web site under Member Documents / Emergency Preparedness titled Silver Sands Emergency Preparedness Action Plan.

In this section of Member Documents you will also find the updated Emergency Preparedness Supply Checklist. Recall the responsibility for emergency supplies rests with the homeowner and not the HOA.

The Silver Sands Emergency Preparedness Action Plan for Residents states your job and your Emergency Preparedness Teams job before, during and after an earthquake.

Following is a list of your current Pool Zone Captains. This list will change as we add CERT (FEMA's Community Emergency Response Training) members to our team. We now have 14 trained CERT's and are in need of a minimum of 20. Opportunities for members to take this valuable CERT training will be sent via email blasts as classes become available.

Pool Zone 1 & 2 - Marty & Sue Mayer
Pool Zone 3 & 4 - Nancy Townsend & David Kimball
Pool Zone 5 & 6 - Ann Davis & Carol Whitaker
Pool Zone 7 & 8 - Peter Treleaven & Chip Wall
Pool Zone 9 & 10 - Andy Dolan
Pool Zone 11 & 12 - Diane Thomas & Jonelle Dedrick
Pool Zone 13 - Bob Thomas
Pool Zone 14 & 15 - Ace Strong and Patty Hamilton

The ICC (Incident Command Center) will be activated following an emergency, be located on Tennis Court 1, and be led by members of the Board of Directors and EP team members Gayl Baum and Earl Aurelius. Notify your Pool Zone Captain if you have healthcare or emergency response backgrounds that could be of assistance post emergency.

We strongly encourage you to be prepared with adequate food, supplies and water to survive for seven days and by having a clear understanding of our emergency plan and structure. Call your Pool Zone Captains with questions and inform your Pool Zone Captains if you have any special needs.

Thanks

Diane Thomas, SS Emergency Preparedness Chair
