This was Matt's first solo interview - wasn't he awesome?!  And what a timely and important subject!

I'm a big fan of what Paul Garth, CERT and all of the first responders are doing in the Ojai Valley. Thanks for posting!

Of course I thought it was great as I'm married to Matt and I work with Paul but it did inspire me to sign up for the 6 week (free) CERT training class starting next week. I've always wanted to learn how to prepare for a major emergency and I'm looking forward to taking this course and hopefully becoming a resource to my neighbors and friends in the Ojai Valley. Thanks Paul & Matt!

I just got the reverse 911 test call to my cell phone. Don't forget to put your OK signs up tonight by 7pm!

Comment #4 Posted by: LS | September 17, 2008 05:33 PM

Yep, I received the call, and posted my OK sign as well...
how about a roll call - who else is on the list and posted their sign? (ok to be pseudonymous, folks!)

Comment #5 Posted by: Tyler | September 17, 2008 05:58 PM

It seems that if you have an unlisted number you won't get the call.

Right, you have to register your unlisted numbers, cell phone numbers and VoIP numbers....

Thanks. The failure to read was mine. I registered.

So what happens during the drill if you don't have an "Ojai OK" sign? Do sheriffs come barging into your house?

No, but the Hyperbole Squad is on their way to your place as we speak.
