Young Men Participate in Service Project to Assemble Ribbon Sets
Wednesday evening, February 16, the Young Men and their leaders met at the Cottonwood Heights City building to assemble ribbon sets that will be given to those needing them in the District. Assistant Police Chief Brenneman kicked off the project by explaining how the ribbons are to be used and their importance in the event of an earthquake for example. The city and state will be in a triage mode to prioritize where assistance is needed immediately based on severity. The Block, Zone, and Precinct leaders, in addition to CERT-certified individuals in our neighborhoods, are a critical part of the triage operation. They gather information at the home level and summarize and forward the details to the city who then forwards information to the state who in turn forwards information to FEMA depending on the seriousness of the emergency. The Young Men assembled 880 sets of ribbons in just an hour! Assistant Police Chief Brenneman congratulated the group on a job well done and presented each young man with a special "dog tag" designed by Police Chief Russo denoting the importance of each of us serving our neighbors.
