Begin Here

In an effort to keep current with technology, but not be controlled by it (we hope), we are creating this blog to compliment our online presence. Combined with our website and monthly e-newsletter this blog is another resource for people looking for information (and a discussion forum) relating to disaster preparedness, response and recovery issues.

Understanding that there is an unlimited and confusing amount of information relating to the subject out there—wherever “there” really is—our attempt will be to stay on focus to our core issues and try to pay particular attention to the concerns of the residents of the Bay Area.

Whether we succeed can only be judged by those who visit. Visitor comments will undoubtedly inform us (keep in mind we don’t have thick skins). We will not strive to be all things to all people. We will post items of interest to ourselves and hopefully to our visitors, but the list will probably be as varied as our tastes.

That said, bear with us as we grow. Help us (gently) to improve with your comments and advice. We may be relative experts in disaster related issues but this blog-o-sphere scares the living #$%^&**&^%$# out of us!
