Citywide drill commemorates the Loma Prieta Quake that started the NERT program

Yesterday’s citywide drill for neighborhood emergency response teams in San Francisco noted 35th anniversary of lomaprieta quake, earliest NERT members from Marina … & the Japanese consul general joined (several other countries want to learn from this fire department program!)

Fleet Week is a jobs fair and experiential museum

Substantial exhibits just strolling through the humanitarian center at Marina Green this Fleet Week, where I was tabling at the San Francisco Fire Depot’s Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) table.


It’s a jobs fair and experiential museum. You can learn how the US Army intubates a patient, and what an earthquake feels like.

I met a Navy diver who dives into wrecks in seas and rivers to retrieve the sunken remains of MIA service people all over the world. 😳
