OK, now that there has been a major earthquake up near Napa, it’s time to get educated about earthquakes and what to do. Last month I wrote about what to do once an earthquake hits and having a good communication plan beforehand. Now what? You need help and cell and home phones are not working. You are not sure where the nearest Fire Department is, and you or your neighbor has an injury which needs medical help. Or there is a fire in the neighborhood. Luckily Cupertino is one of the few Bay Area cities that is well prepared. There is a network of reporting stations, called ARKs, which are located throughout the city and will be setup and staffed by the Cupertino Citizen Corps volunteers. You should know where your assigned ARK is located and go there to get help, report hazards, or to get emergency related information. What are the ARKs Located? During an emergency, ARKs or Emergency Reporting Stations can be found at the following Cupertino locations: • De Anza College, 21250 Stevens Creek Boulevard •Hyde Middle School, 19325 Bollinger Road • Lawson Middle School, 10401 Vista Drive •Garden Gate Elementary School, 10500 Ann Arbor Avenue • Monta Vista Fire Station, Stevens Creek @ Prado Vista • Seven Springs, Prospect @ Stelling Road • Cupertino.org/ARK Also see:www.cupertino.org/ARK What is an ARK and What Can the Staff Help With? The ARK will be staffed by Citizen Emergency Response Team (CERT) team members, Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) members, and Cupertino Amateur Radio Emergency Service (CARES) members. The task of an ARK is to take in incident reports from the residents and either handle the emergencies or pass the needs and information to the Cupertino Emergency Operations Center (EOC). If the ARK has enough staff, the members can do light search and rescue, first aid, damage assessment and safety containment. The ARK will also pass along information to the public that it gets from the EOC, such as shelter information, water locations, sewer and water safety, and other emergency information. An ARK is your link between the EOC, and the public. ARKs contain a host of supplies which are used by ARK staff for the functions above. It is important to remember that they are not emergency food, water or equipment depots for resident use. It is important that If you do only one thing to prepare this month: 4 you have emergency supplies, like food, water, flashlights, an AM/FM radio and first aid kit, for you and your family for 3-5 days. We do offer a free Earthquake Preparedness Class to help you get ready. See the listing below to set up a class for your neighborhood. During an emergency the EOC will be staffed by city leaders from various critical departments, SCC Sheriff Representatives, SCC Fire representatives, and various other emergency representatives. It is the EOCs job to set the priorities and give direction to the Community Emergency Response Volunteers and to allocate resources where they will do the most good for the greatest number of citizens.

Used cooking oil can be placed in a plastic container with a closed screw-top and placed next to the recycling cart, but not in it. Please make sure that all liquids are drained from bottles and cans before placing them in a recycling cart. This will prevent the leaking of fluid from the trucks onto our streets and will help with the efficiency of sorting our recyclables. Extra Garbage This Week?

Combined with news that El Niño is looking to be weaker and more moderate than expected, this means that water conservation must continue to be a way of life. Mandatory state water conservation regulation is also going into effect. Do your part! There are many ways of conserving water both inside and outside the home; here are a few tips for making your home more water efficient: In the Kitchen/Laundry Room: In Your Yard: • Operate your clothes washer and dish washer with full loads only. Did you know that outdoor water consumption typically accounts for at least 50% of residential water use? • Don’t leave the water running if you hand wash dishes. • Replace your clothes washer with a new high-efficiency clothes washer, the second highest water user indoors. • Water your lawn only when necessary. Replace turf with drought tolerant plants. • Set your irrigation schedule for the season and your local conditions. In the Bathroom: • Plant drought tolerant species. • Fix toilet leaks. • Upgrade your irrigation hardware. Replace high flow sprinklers with drip irrigation (where appropriate). Santa Clara County residents may be eligible for rebates for irrigation hardware upgrades. • Shower instead of using the bath tub and take shorter showers. • Replace your old toilet, the largest water user indoors. Consider replacing it with a new and improved high-efficiency toilet. These new models use 1.3 gallons per flush or less. Rebates for high efficiency toilets, high-efficiency clothes washers and landscaping are available from the Santa Clara Valley Water District. See www.valleywater.org • Install low-flow showerheads. Replace older showerheads with new efficient models that use 2.0 gallons per minute or less. • Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth or shaving. • Hydrozone: when planting, group plants together according to their water needs to avoid over-watering. • Water during the cool part of the day, before dawn. • Use mulch to cover non-turf areas. • Install shut-off nozzles on all garden hoses. • Sweep sidewalks and driveways. Hosing down pavement around your home can waste hundreds of gallons. A broom is the best tool for cleaning these areas. • Don’t water the pavement. • Prevent water runoff on slopes. • Check your irrigation system often for broken sprinkler heads and irrigation tubing. • Don’t let water run while washing the car. • Use a pool cover. FACT: T he average household residence uses over 100,000 gallons of water (indoor and outdoor) in one year (Source: EPA). That’s a lot of water! Do your part and help ensure our water supply for the future. volume XXXVII number 8 11 community calendar OCT CLUB / ORGANIZATION TIME LOCATION PHONE WEB/EMAIL 1 Excalibur Toastmasters* 6:45 - 8 pm St. Joseph of Cupertino School, Lyon's Den 10110 N.
