The March meeting is being moved to the third Tuesday and the location has been changed. The meeting will be at the Huntsville Madison County Emergency Management Agency Emergency Operations Center 320 Fountain Cir (around back) Huntsville, AL @ 6:30 pm
Do
not come to the front door. On the south side of the building on
Williams St there is a garage entrance for the bank. In the garage is
the secure direct access to the EOC. The door will be manned for this
meeting. Please bring your CERT backpack and/or CERT Badge for access to
the meeting. Interested guests are welcome.
There will be a little business and a lot of
interaction including backpack and training at this meeting. Some
kit supply freebee's will be handed out. This is the first location in
our plan to have meetings at agencies that are relevant to disaster
response and recovery mission. Come see the EOC in person. The news
keeps showing you scenes from inside where the severe weather briefings
are conducted. It is the season and we have had some near misses, so
far.
So on our normal meeting night, the second Tuesday, we are again recommending that people attend the NWS Storm Spotter training session: The Huntsville National Weather Service will be providing their Spring Storm Spotter training on Tuesday, March 8th. The training starts at 6:00 PM at the National Geographic Theater at the Space & Rocket Center. The training should be complete by 8:30 at the latest. We recommend attending every couple of years to keep up-to-date.
The new MCCA website is up! We are now a .org, please change all your hotlink's appropriately to: http://www.madisoncountycert.org" rel="nofollow - www.madisoncountycert.org
We have the new guidelines and the city attorney has reviewed them. We will be adding them to our training slides.
The
MOU is awaiting the new director to have a chance to come up to
speed. However, I have met him and if his schedule will allow (it will
be his second week on the job) he may be able to come by and meet the
team.
We will be explaining the background
check process (necessary for badging under NIMS) and how any information
will be handled/destroyed. MCCA will not retain any sensitive records.
