Thanks to everyone who participated in the Shake Out drill on April 17th. This was a full-scale test of the Disaster HUB Box system, and it was a big step forward in improving community preparedness.
Now we need your help to make it even better. If you took part in the drill, I’d love to hear how it went. Did your radio work? Did you hear the alarm? Did the instructions make sense? And just as important, if your drill went smoothly and everything worked exactly as it should, please let me know that too.
One group at HUB Box PC02 shared valuable feedback. They showed up on time, followed the instructions, and used the radio, but didn’t receive any response and weren’t sure if they were on the right channel. The experience left them feeling uncertain about whether their efforts had been successful.
That kind of feedback helps us refine the system, clarify instructions, and improve reliability. So, your input is essential. Please email your thoughts to me at mike@MikeScott4Ivins.com. Thanks again for helping keep Ivins safe and prepared.
