What could be better than a bunch of neighbors getting together in one place? How about a chance to let them know about CERT? Well, there is a new volunteer group which organizes block parties around San Diego who is willing to work with us on this.
I’ve met with Hang who is the volunteer organizer for this brand-new group and when she described what their goals are, I realized that local CERT teams would benefit by being at the block party and meeting the people who live in that neighborhood.
Hang agreed that CERT can hand out flyers, emergency info like the 3-day kit flyers, etc. It’s kind of like a mini-street fair but concentrated on a single neighborhood and avoiding all of the “commercialism” of bigger events which can interfere with talking to people.
The next block party is tentatively scheduled for September 20th from 3pm to 6pm on Trojan Ave between 52nd and 53rd Street (City Heights Area).
