Pledge of Allegiance recited and roll call taken.
The minutes from the March 21, 2012 meeting were approved. The minutes from the
May 16, 2012 meeting were not approved because we did not have quorum.
Threat Update
Lt. Jones reported that threat level is still elevated - there have been no changes.
Currently watching situation where needles were found in sandwiches on Delta flight out
of the Netherlands. United uses the same catering service.
Fire Season Update
Judy Scribner reported for Rick Zyvoloski that we have had lots of rain and are in good
shape. The rain is cooling the Gulf as well. There is nothing to worry about for
hurricanes right now. Discussion reference straight line winds, where there are quick,
high winds and heavy rains. Dr. Neiween said he went through one and lost 6-8 mature
oak trees, with power out for 5-6 days.
L.M. S. (Local Mitigation Strategy)
Reg Buxton and Russ Rainey are part of the LMS group (this is a division of the Citizen
Corps). The date of the next meeting has been changed to July 27th at 9:30 a.m. at 2600

Russ Rainey
Every 4 years a status report on the Citizen Corps needs to be sent to the BCC. This was
done in March. Copies of each mission of this group have been made so you can see how
everyone fits in the Citizen Corps.
Regarding the CERT group, Fiddler's and Verona Walk do not respond outside of their
neighborhoods. Fiddler's has 28 villages, with 13 of them covered. They are trying to
get 1-3 people from each village.
Jim Elson
There was discussion about the Red Cross no longer covering all the shelters. Jim said
that his Rapid Response Team is looking to put together a shelter team, although they
haven't put it into place yet. This group is young and strong—instant thinkers and former
military. Judy suggested that Jim speak with Lee Mayfield in EM regarding volunteers.
Jim talked about a network of homeowner's associations in the City of Naples where City
Manager Moss can send out info to these folks—great communication tool. Judy will get
in touch with Jim about this—he did say they are not interested in anyone from EM
coming.
Hodges University just opened a new American Legion Post in Fort Myers. 10% of
Hodges students are veterans. This Post will be dedicated on September 11, 2012.
Walt Jaskiewicz
Presented Mass Rescue Operations Program to the group. Many assets available to the
County—contact Walt. He gave a history of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, i.e. positions
available include interpreters, chefs, etc. The Auxiliary Mass Rescue Operations
Specialist Program has 16 folks trained for a Type 3 or above incident who will be added
to the database.
Walt attended the International Humanitarian Assistance Organization where you meet
with actual victims, survivors, and families. Learned that any incidents in international
waters, where local jurisdictions handle, can be a nightmare. Heidi stated that airlines
have care teams available for any of their incidents.
Reg Buxton
Attended the Governor's Hurricane conference and shared information: Predictions
include 8-10 named storms, with 1-2 predicted for Florida. Remember the first 72 hours
are on the individual. People are not prepared after the last 5 years, there is poor
attendance at the hurricane seminars, and the citizens are ambivalent. All government
agencies are running leaner and experienced people have left. The new people do
exercises, but do not have the actual experience. Jim said from a real estate perspective,
people used to ask about storm protection, etc. in the area. This year, there are no
questions, lots of apathy.
Doug Porter
CAP will hold a search and rescue exercise, hosted by the Marco Island squadron, around
the first week of August (date not set yet). Training of all CAP is maintained in order to
re-qualify or qualify.
Dr. Neiweem
A four-hour course will be held on July 26th at the MRC meeting for stress training after a
storm. He handed out cards for home emergency supplies list.
There are no exotic diseases out there at this point. Walt asked about the flesh-eating
disease. Dr. Neiweem said this has always been around, it is a form of gangrene.
Heidi Ruster
Red Cross held a regional exercise on June 9th with Lee and Collier Counties. They got
an increase in volunteers to cover folks in Tropical Storm Debby. 75 volunteers were
sent out to other areas last year. It depends on the needs who is sent out to these areas, as
well as the experience. The Red Cross will manage the Immokalee shelters and are
currently working with Ave Maria to open as a shelter. Volunteers are being encouraged
to help in the County shelters—training is available. Jim said there are many Marines in
Ave Maria who could run their shelter.
Judy requested contact information for a roster.
Russ asked if we should go back to monthly meetings—next meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. in the EOC.
Meeting was adjourned at 4:00 p.m.
Minutes submitted by Mary Ann Cole and Judy Scribner for approval.
