And the winner is ...

Too bad, so sad, there were no contest winners last month. No one, NO ONE, zero, zilch, nada, null, cipher submitted answers to the 11 questions. Were the questions too hard? Or did no one want to win a Moon Pie? Here are the answers:

1. Q: Do you know that the Butler Hill Ward's Emergency Preparedness program is closely tied to the city's program? A: Yes, indeed. Cottonwood Heights City has one of the most comprehensive Emergency Preparedness programs in the valley. Assistant Police Chief Brenneman has responsibility for the program. He likes to say that the program is community-based, not city, not church, or not any other organization-based. The individual resident living in the city is the key to making the program work. (More about this in next month's newsletter.) 2. Q: Do you know which Cottonwood Heights City Emergency Preparedness District we live in? A: We live in the Butler District. Shortly after the city was formed, the city and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints agreed to use the existing stake and ward boundaries for the new Emergency Preparedness District and Precinct boundaries.

3. Q: Do you know the name of your Emergency Preparedness Precinct within the District? A: We live in the Butler Hill Precinct.

4. Q: Do you know which Emergency Preparedness Block in your Precinct you live in? A: City engineers have divided each Precinct into a number of Blocks based on how many homes are in each Precinct. The Butler Hill Precinct - our Precinct - has 41 Blocks. Each Block consisted of 8 - 12 homes. If you do not know which Block you live in, don't worry, you will know soon! 5. Q: Who is your Block Captain? A: Block Captains are selected from those who live in the Block. The only requirement is a desire to serve their neighbors and understand the essence of the city's Emergency Preparedness program. This means there are 41 Block Captains. Like your Block number, you may not know your Block Captain, but you will soon! The Precinct Leader (me) can further organize the Blocks into Zones. We will tentatively have 4 Zones, containing 10, 10, 10, and 11 Blocks each. Each Zone will have a Zone Leader who may also be a Block Captain. 6. Q: What is the primary responsibility of a Block Captain? A: Everyone in the Precinct will soon receive a letter describing in detail the responsibilities of Block Captains. 7. Q: Do you know about and understand the Cottonwood Heights City Emergency Preparedness ribbon system? A: Each home is to have a set of colored ribbons that can be hung on an outside door or window to let others - especially the Block Captain - know the status of everyone in the home in the event of a serious emergency such as an earthquake. There are 4 ribbons: GREEN signifying everyone is okay in the home and they will try to assist others ... YELLOW signifying there are medical problems but not including severe bleeding or not breathing ... RED signifying someone is not breathing or is severely bleeding ... BLACK signifying there is a fatality in the home.

8. Q: Can you find your set of Emergency Preparedness ribbons? Or, did you never have a set of ribbons. A: Please look for your set of ribbons. Don't worry if you can not find them. You will have an opportunity soon to get another set. 9. Q: Do you know when Cottonwood Heights City performs a "test" of their Emergency Preparedness readiness? A: April each year, usually on a Saturday. This year the test will be Saturday morning, April 23. More details about this year's Shake-out will be available from the city soon. Don't confuse the city's test with the state Shake-out which will be April 21 this year. Q: Does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participate in the "test"? If so, how? A: You will get more information later about the details of the test soon. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints participates by providing volunteers and the use of facilities as requested by the city. Butler Hill Precinct
