CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2008-07-28 | 3 | Commission on Disability Issues July 28, 2008 Minutes Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Berger asked where does the local Disaster Registry fit within the Disaster Plan, to which Captain Oliver responded that due to budget constraints, it is not up to date but the registry is managed through the CERT Program. Currently there are not enough personnel to invest into managing the program. Commissioner Berger asked if the registry is in nursing homes to which Captain Oliver responded that the Disaster Registry is meant for someone who lives alone and is independent; however, they will be checked on following a disaster. Commissioner Berger asked how does an individual update their registry form to which Captain Oliver responded by a written request to the Alameda Fire Department. Commissioner Fort asked how do you know if you are registered to which Captain Oliver responded that the individuals would have added themselves to the register. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that when the CDI web page is up and running, they would like to add a link with AFD regarding the disaster registry program. Commissioner Kirola asked is there a description of the CERT Program to which Captain Oliver responded that one can check the City's website and navigate for information about the program. Chair Lord-Hausman stated that the CDI would like to partner with AFD regarding the registry program to which Captain Oliver replied that is fine. Commissioner Longley-Cook stated that some people do not register in the program because of fear of personal information being exposed. Captain Oliver replied that she has heard of these types of fears; however, all volunteers are subject to a background check before they have access to the list and they would meet with the individuals one on one. Commissioner Robinson asked if APD or AFD manages the program to which Captain Oliver stated that Fire manages the program and that she will ensure that information is consistent with what is on the background check form. Commissioner Berger asked if the registry list is being checked on a regular basis to which Captain Oliver replied that it stays with AFD. Captain Oliver thanked the Commission for their questions and input with respect to the City's Disaster Preparedness Plan and registry program.
