I am involved in a group called BERT - Baker Emergency Resource Team. This is the outgrowth of a bunch of CERT people trying to get the community organized and instill the concept of preparedness into everyone out here. We have been meeting monthly for the last five months.
This area is the end of a very long and very thin supply chain and if something major happens, it will be a week or more before rescue teams come in from the outside to assist. The perils out here are many - volcano, earthquake (we are overdue for a big one), fire, flood, landslide to just name the biggies.
The web page is still in its infancy but check out bakeremergency.com
