I am about to get cranky on #CalOES for planning a series of #CERT webinars for during the day, during the week. Not all CERT volunteers are retired!!!

As a matter of fact NONE of our coordinators are retired.

If you're a #CERT and you want info on the webinar series DM me and I'll get you the info.

Ok folks if you are in the path of #hilary, the time to prepare is almost over. Leading bands are already hitting the desert floor. Last minute stuff, get it done now. The danger here is not so much wind, but water. #CalOES is already pre positioned swift water teams. The early bands, ahead of the main event are already hitting desert communities.

It will hit the coast relatively soon. Landfall expected tomorrow.
