Volunteers Sought to Help With ‘Quake’
Residents who want to learn more about the city’s emergency preparedness and want to help in case of a disaster may take part in a drill Saturday at City Hall, 10200 Slater Ave.
Sponsored by the city’s Disaster Preparedness Advisory Committee, the drill will focus on the likely outcome of a 6.7-magnitude earthquake followed by strong aftershocks, severe damage citywide and a failure of electric and phone service.
Kathy Williams, emergency preparedness coordinator, said the city has developed a procedure to use community volunteers, but it hasn’t been tested. Members of the disaster preparedness panel will be at City Hall at 9:30 a.m. for a trial run.
