7th Annual Disaster Survival Drill
Saturday, October 12, 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
**Signup Deadline is Sunday, September 22**

The Burlingame Neighborhood Network (BNN) invites all Burlingame residents to participate in the seventh annual Burlingame Disaster Survival Drill.
 
You’ll learn how work together with neighbors and support one another following a disaster, when professional help may not be available for 72 hours or longer. You’ll also test an emergency communications network staffed by Ham radio operators that allows neighbors to escalate requests for help from emergency responders and receive official alerts. Participation can help your neighborhood qualify for a free cache of emergency supplies valued at $550.
 
This exercise is organized by the BNN and is supported by the Central County Fire Department, the Burlingame Police Department, Burlingame CERTs, and local HAM radio operators. It will take place on multiple blocks throughout Burlingame. Adults and children 10 and older can take active roles. It’s free.
 
Individuals planning to lead a drill – and anyone who is interested – should attend the Drill Walk-Through on September 25, where free boxed Drill Kits will be distributed, and the Communications Workshop on October 3. Both begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Lane Room at the Burlingame Public Library. 

Burlingame residents who wish to participate should send their name and street to info@burlingamenetwork.org by September 22. For more information, visit BurlingameNetwork.org.
