November 2012

CD has another busy month of activities and events. Work continued on the new 100kw generator, setting it up on a temporary trailer, filling it with fuel, and wiring it up for use at the community center.

This past week a full test powering up the community center was completed with 100% success.

Trials continued on a cell phone repeater system in the EOC, more adjustments and some different antennas will be used so the EOC and surrounding area will have much better coverage.

CD members were put on standby for the Superstorm Sandy late last month. Members were given updates by Director Polimer by email and by radio during the storm. Standby generators at 2 repeater sites were used due to power outages. Some minor issues did occurred and were fixed during the storm by CD members.

CD members were asked to support the town's clerk office by participating in nationwide election. Members prepositioned signage, and equipment on Nov. 5th. Then on election day members provided updated traffic condition on 1630 AM, set up signage for traffic flow and provided lighting for the evening.
