Have you ever noticed the small pink label with a pencil
that is on the packaging of products from companies like
Ziploc, Hefty, Avery, General Mills, Green Giant, Hanes,
etc.?
Heres your chance to support our two Redwood Shores
elementary schools (Sandpiper Elementary and Redwood
Shores Elementary) by clipping off Box Tops
(boxtops4education.com) from many products that you
already buy!
Box Tops for Education are a small, easy way to help your
local Parent-Teacher Associations provide things like
classroom supplies and field trip fees.
Redwood Shores residents can help by clipping your Box
Tops labels (it only takes 5 seconds to clip and save them
in a bag) and dropping them off in a collection box at the
Postal Annex, 274 Redwood Shores Pkwy right next to
Nob Hill Foods, whenever you are shopping nearby.
You can also drop labels off at the school offices of
Sandpiper Elementary or Redwood Shores Elementary.
And a big, special Thank You to Postal Annex for helping
support our schools!

Disasters
Are Your PETS Prepared?
by Jan Brown
Since this months issue of The PILOT is devoted to
disaster preparedness, it is only fitting I address the
topic of animals and disasters.
As humans, weve been told to have enough food,
water, flashlights, battery powered radios and the like.
But, for pet owners, it is also imperative you have a
plan in place for your animals!
Let me take you back to a little more than 22 years
agoOctober 17, 1989the day Loma Prieta struck.
In 1989 I was living in San Francisco. I arrived home
to find some broken glass, some plaster that had fallen,
and no electricity. My damages were minimal
compared to what other people suffered that day.
As any good pet owner did, I promptly put my cat in
his carrier as I did not want him stepping in the
broken glass. Within two hours my nice, docile cat
managed to chew his way out of his carrier (yes, it was
a corrugated-type carrier), and my only working
flashlight died on me. Luckily, approximately 4 hours
later we had our electricity back on.
The Loma Prieta quake only served to illustrate how
unprepared I was, especially when it came to the
welfare of my beloved animal.
So, here is a list of some of the things you should have
in place before you need them:
Sturdy carriers (one for each animal)
Enough food and water for 7 days
A photograph of your pet
A copy of your animals vacation/medical history
Extra medicine if your animal requires medicine
An extra leash, collar and identification tag
Extra litter box
A pet first aid kit
Take a pet first aid class
If you focus on completing one item at a time your
task will not seem so overwhelming. And in no time
you will be well-prepared for your animal.

END NOTES:
Disaster Preparedness in the Shores How You Might Help in an Emergency
We want to reinforce the need for you and your family to
be personally prepared for an emergency. It might be a big
earthquake, or it could be some other natural or manmade disaster. Some of the things in this issue are about
being prepared for a large scale disaster like the big one,
but others are things that could help you recover from a
more local event like a house fire.
Redwood Shores is an island. We live in a community that
is physically separated from our Belmont, San Carlos, and
Redwood City neighbors by water on three sides and a
multi-lane freeway on the fourth. Our access to the outside
world uses two overpasses that could become inaccessible
in a large seismic event.
Although we have a fire station located here in the Shores,
we need to assume that in response to a large earthquake
or other emergency ALL area fire & police resources will
be pulled toward hospitals or other city centers deemed
more critical than our local neighborhoods. This may not
be what we would want, but it IS the reality.
We are fortunate to have an airport which if undamaged
would likely be heavily used for local emergency relief
services. But we cant even rely on that.
These simple facts mean that all Shores residents should
plan for such emergency events as though we will be
without the most basic services for some period of time. I
dont think we can begin to understand the total
disruption that a truly large seismic event would bring.
You MUST assume that:
There may be NO emergency services in the Shores. Fire
& police resources will be pulled toward hospitals or
other centers deemed more critical than residential
neighborhoods.
You may have NO electricity or gas service.
You may have NO city water.
You may have absolutely NO way to communicate with
the outside world. NO telephone, NO cable television,
NO internet service, NO cell phone service!
You may be advised to vacate your home because of
probable aftershocks. (Aftershocks sometimes cause
more damage than the original earthquake.)
Your ONLY source of information may be AM radio
(740 KCBS).
Shores residents should plan for such a disaster as though
we will be without the most basic services for some period
of time, possibly a week or more.
Use the articles in this issue of the PILOT to plan and get
your household ready.
In the words of the Boy Scouts motto
BE PREPARED!
