Operators that are trained to assist local government during time of emergency and disaster or for routine events and activities. They are trained and certified to provide public-safety communications support.

Westminster RACES are looking for licensed Ham Radio Operators to perform vital volunteer commu-nications during Westminster Community Events and Disaster or Emergency Incidents.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the City of Westminster RACES, please contact RACES Radio Officer Chi Nguyen, KE6MVS (714) 869-1441, [email protected], or RACES Assistant Radio Of-ficer Adam Valek, N6HVC (714) 892-5961, [email protected], for further information.

ARE YOU PREPARED? Recent California history has shown the need for neighborhoods, schools, & busi-nesses to rely on themselves for a minimum of 7 days to 2 weeks following a major earthquake.

CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is a group of responsible, trained individuals that form a skilled group of Disaster Service Workers. The CERT Program can be used just for your family or in neigh-borhoods, businesses, and schools. The CERT members realize that in the event of a major disaster they will have to rely on themselves and their neighbors to handle emergencies until pro-fessional help arrives.

The 24 hour CERT course covers topics such as In-troduction to Disaster Preparedness, First Aid, Light Search and Rescue, Fire Suppression, and Disaster Psychology. Classes are held in the Spring and the Fall.

WEST COUNTY CERT is comprised of those who live and/or work in Buena Park, Cypress, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Seal Beach, and Westminster plus their at-tached communities.

Water Safety is Critical during the Summer Months • Drowning is the leading cause of death for children

under the age of five, and if you look a little closer to drowning incident data from 2009-2013, adult drowning incidents are on the rise, especially males.

• As we get into the summer months (June-August), a drowning incident occurs every three days.

• Adults need to remember to always swim with another person. Just like we teach the children to swim with a buddy, the adults need to follow the same rule.

• Children have a poor understanding of risks and dangers, which makes it hard for them to make good choices to protect their own safety.

• Children rely on their parents for their safety. Please always watch your children around the water, and don’t ask others to do that for you.

• Drowning happens everywhere including bathtubs, mop buckets, toilets, pools, spas, community pools, ponds, and even in standing water in as little as two feet.

• A drowning can occur in as little as 20 seconds, and unless rescued in less than three minutes, the chance of long-term brain injury or death is high.

• The definition of drowning, according to the World Congress on Drowning, is the “process of experi-encing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid.” The World Health Organization and the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at CDC, categorize drowning as fatal (result-ing in death) or non-fatal (not resulting in death).

• Children drown without a sound, learning the ABC’s of pool safety could help prevent this senseless tragedy. Visit www.ocfa.org for more information on safety programs.
