QCA Outdoor Warning System 

 

The purpose of this document is to establish common guidelines for activation of outdoor warning sirens throughout the Quad City metro area. 

 

The outdoor warning sirens represent only one part of a broader public emergency notification system.  Other components might include: NOAA Weather Radio All-hazards, law enforcement, text notification networks, and the media.  Sirens are used to alert citizens who are outdoors of an imminent hazard and prompt them to go indoors and seek further information.

 

 

 

The Department of Homeland Security unveiled a newly-revised and organized resources manual aimed at helping

the private sector deal with a host of homeland security issues.

9/11 Drill Down for Safety

 

As part of the 9/11 Drill Down for SAFETY Campaign, Safe America Foundation is focusing on the use of wireless devices as “safety tools”. The campaign is called “Text First, Talk Second”. We all know land lines work exceptionally well; however with most of the population out and about on a daily basis and cell, text and internet are common modes of communicating.

 

So on the anniversary please join me in a call down drill with your family. Whether a disturbance at school, mall, airport or a weather event, stay connected with FOUR simple letters  ----I    M   O  K    -texting IMOK takes less than 2 seconds,  faster than a call, it is a fraction of the bandwidth so 800 additional people can send out the same message  in comparison to just one phone call.

 

So please take some time at dinner and discuss with the family, if there was an event and you needed someone to know you are okay –then text –I M O K.  

  

 

 

 

Children and Disasters Resource Information

 

 Children comprise nearly 25 percent of the US population and have unique needs during a disaster that require specific recognition and coordination on the part of federal, state, tribal, and local governments and their non-governmental disaster relief partners. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, coupled with the rise in major disaster declarations over the past two decades, have highlighted the need to improve gaps in preparedness, response, and recovery policies that should specifically address the needs of children.
