Disaster Drills 

Gatehouse Direct - 760 - 770 - 0065

We have tested all our emergency equipment and are working on a better storage solution. There is lots of gear - radios, jump kits, medical equipment, rescue gear, and various lighting and power equipment. All is working well.  Communications gear and Ham radios have been tested and allow us to communicate throughout the valley.  The Roster of available search and rescue, medical, radio team responders, and incident commanders have been updated, and new members have been recruited.  A full - scale disaster exercise will be held in March. Please come and watch! A full access study of all perimeter walls is complete. Each wall and fence have been checked for soft spots. As a result, we have identified 20 areas providing too - easy intruder access. We have submitted to the Board a prioritized action plan for new wrought iron barriers and prickly vegetation that will fix these problems and discourage intruders. Intruder Security  We have identified missing stop signs and pavement markings and are nearly done installing all the missing elements.  We have conducted many traffic and speeding studies and have a large body of data allowing security to go to work at the specific problem times, and on the problem streets.  We have deployed new radar speeding signs, which also record data, and they are working quite well to discourage speeding.  We are having a new crosswalk painted and considering a pilot program of bike/pedestrian lanes on our larger streets. Each ORPS first aid station and each defib unit has been inspected, and supplies are on order to bring them up to standard.  Each Fire extinguisher has also been located and checked for correct operation.
