Preparing for Emergencies
Joanne Jordan is some kind of presenter! Over the 16-year history of the BBRC, we’ve seen a lot of presentations. But, 800 presenters later, you’d have to agree that Joanne knows her business and is perhaps one of the most engaging speakers we’ve had the pleasure of hearing! “I used to teach little kids, so I talk fast, and I may not have too much time left to talk about disaster preparedness. Thanks to Rotary for inviting me and to the Salvation Army for the work it does. But, I’m here to talk about disasters.”
Joanne began by tackling earthquake myths: how to be safe. “Getting under doorways is not good advice. Doors hurt people; people get hurt trying to get to the door. It’s not recommended. Injuries to peoples’ limbs are most prevalent. We recommend Drop, Cover & Hold. How to be safe? Drop under a table or desk, cover yourself underneath, and hold on to legs of the table.” MORE

ADMIN THOUGHT
There are plenty of good five-cent cigars in the country. The trouble is they cost a quarter. What this country needs is a good five-cent nickel." – Franklin P. Adams
