This is a drill. September is National Preparedness Month. For the Quarter One MRC drill, please poll your unit” s MRC volunteers by conducting a call-down drill to determine the number of volunteers who have a 72-hour kit prepared. In polling your volunteers (i.e. Yes, I have a 72-hour kit; No, but I plan to construct a kit), please provide a 2-hour response time. Additionally, feel free to include any National Preparedness Month resources that have been made available such as those on Ready.gov/September and https://www.mass.gov/know-plan-prepare in your drill. Please submit a roster (one roster per unit) of those volunteers who responded within the two-hour time frame to liz.foley@state.ma.us and darryen.anderson2@state.ma.us by Thursday September 5th at 5pm to receive credit.
