FEBRUARY 2024
From the Section 22 BOD By Jerry Newmin, Board Member Emergency Preparedness We have come a long way following the devastation caused by Hurricanes Ian and Idalia. Most of us have recovered, or almost recovered, and are looking forward to a new season better prepared for what nature throws our way. Last February, I contacted the Cape Coral Fire Department, and inquired about emergency response planning. The response was immediate. They offered to help us develop a Certified Emergency Response Team (CERT) at no cost. This training required each person to undergo about eight hours of hands-on training at the fire department, plus approximately eight hours of online learning. On February 19, an eblast was sent asking for full time residents interested in volunteering for this program. More than 20 residents attended a meeting at the Tiki Hut on March 16 when the Fire Department outlined program requirements. Over the next few months, 22 residents completed the fire department CERT certification program. Fortunately, these volunteers are spread throughout the marina. This allowed us to develop zones of responsibility for CERT team members. A description of the Burnt Store Marina CERT program is posted on the Section 22 website, and has been published in the Beacon and email blasts. The primary mission of the CERT team is to support and augment the local, state and federal emergency response agencies. Our goal is to collect information, communicate issues, and to provide necessary services until profession fire and rescue personnel arrive on the scene. To augment our preparedness (the CERT program), residents Shelia and Jimmy Wise conducted certified CPR/AED defibrillator training for 37 residents, in accordance with the American Heart Association rules and regulations. Shelia’s and Jimmy’s credentials include: Shelia Wise, NREMTP, (National Registered Emergency Medical Technician Paramedic), Kentucky State Certified Paramedic, Instructor in BLS (basic
life support), ACLS (Advanced cardiac life support), PALS (pediatric advanced life support), TCCC (tactical combat critical care), Incident Command and Bio weapon emergencies and Disaster response. A graduate of University of Kentucky with BSA, Ms. Wise worked 30 + years both ground a n d A i r E m e rg e n c y Services. Jimmie Wise, NREMTP (National Registered Emergency M e d i c a l Te c h n i c i a n Paramedic), Kentucky State Certified Paramedic, Instructor in BLS (basic life support), ACLS (Advanced cardiac life support), PALS (pediatric advanced life support), TCCC (tactical combat critical care), Incident Command and Bio Weapons emergencies and Disaster response. A graduate of Eastern Kentucky University in EMC (Emergency Medical Care), Mr. Wise worked 30 + years both ground and Air Emergency Services and was a Kentucky coroner for 25 years. Our teams do not eliminate or replace your responsibilities for emergency preparedness. We urge all residents to prepare an emergency response plan. Several local newspapers and agencies prepare and distribute hurricane preparation guides. If you do not have these documents on hand the 2023 Cape Coral Hurricane Prep Guide is on-line at https://online.pubhtml5.com/sqafb/ mqrj/index.html#p=1.
Any residents with special needs should register with local emergency response agencies such as LCEC, Lee County at: https://www.leegov.com/ publicsafety/emergencymanagement/shelters/ specialneedsprogram. The Burnt Store Marina Country Club will be the primary staging area during an emergency. Generators have been beefed up for emergencies, and should function should power fail. CERT members have radio telephones to facilitate communication between team members during an emergency. A list of defibrillators is posted on the website. On behalf of the entire community, we thank all the volunteers for their dedication and service.
