Today, we formed a crisis management committee to oversee functions that are critical to the daily operation of Mirador San Jose. Team leads are in place. Alphabetically, they are:<\/p>\n
Chantal Cloutier: Crisis Operations<\/strong> Stephane D’aragon: Security<\/strong> Karen Kemp: Business Liaison<\/strong> Tom Shipley: Water Management<\/strong> Dennis Southgate and Brenda Bourgeault Southgate: Fundraising<\/strong> James Whittall: Communications<\/strong> Each committee member is responsible to resolve all priority issues that are within his or her mandate. Team leader meetings will be daily. All progress and achievements will be communicated to homeowners at the end of each day until the more immediate crisis (water, security, electricity) is over.<\/p>\n We have an immediate need for volunteers for our Neighbourhood Watch. Neighbourhood Watch teams will consist of two community members. Shifts will rotate and be two hours long. There will be Watch shifts at night. These shifts will include securing the gate and patrolling regularly, as a team, to ensure the safety of the beach access area while the rest of us sleep. When volunteering, please indicate any medical issues that would prevent you from taking a night shift. If you\u2019re a night owl, let us know! At this time, team leads are organizing for their responsibilities. If you possess specific professional expertise that might help the team leads named above, please contact them directly to volunteer. If you want to bring coffee to Neighbourhood Watch volunteers, see to others\u2019 fuel needs and generator maintenance, or anything that you think might be of service to the community, please consider giving of your time.<\/p>\n Claude Dugas and Sylvie Bond have very generously provided commercial space that the crisis management committee can use to centralize our activities, especially for fundraising and volunteer coordination. \u201cAnything you need, just ask.\u201d Thank you, Claude and Sylvie.<\/p>\n We are all under enormous stress, and tempers can flare. Stay positive. Help is coming.<\/p>\n The power will not come back as soon as we all would like. But it will be back on.<\/p>\n The gates are unattended. But they won\u2019t be much longer.<\/p>\n Water is scarce. There will be more water.<\/p>\n Life will return to normal. Better, because we are all working on this solution, together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, we formed a crisis management committee to oversee functions that are critical to the daily operation of Mirador San Jose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[10,9,8],"class_list":["post-64","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-english","tag-crisis-management-committee","tag-team-leaders","tag-volunteer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":203,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64\/revisions\/203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jameswhittall.com\/msj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
