At
7 p.m., Wednesday, September 20th, at the Corvallis High School
library, Corvallis Post #91 will conduct its monthly membership meeting.
September
is National Disaster Preparedness month, so this month we will discuss
emergency preparedness.
This
month’s guest speaker is Harry Lee from Bug Out Montana. Alex Sakariassen from
the Independent recently interviewed Harry, so here is the link (https://missoulanews.bigskypress.com/missoula/are-you-prepared-for-the-end-of-the-world-as-you-know-it/Content?oid=4990504)
to give you some background knowledge of our guest speaker.
Harry
will be talking about “72-hour kits.” He will tell you what is in them, how to
build them or where to buy one.
We
are giving away two “72-hour kits,” along with other items as door prizes.
After
Harry, the post’s amateur radio club, KG7SPL, will give a power point
presentation on the club, emergency volunteers, and training. After the meeting
stick around a listen to the Bitterroot Amateur Radio Club’s Wednesday night net.
Both
presentations are open to the public. After last winter’s snow and this summer’s
fires it is always good to think about “what if.” We are hoping to help our
members and the public think through these situations and find some individual
solutions.
Again,
the meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Corvallis High School library. Bring your
family, a friend or your neighbor, because you must prepare before the
emergency happens.
