If a disaster were to happen, it would be a shame to be doing all you can and not realize that there is another CERT member two blocks down doing the same. By teaming up, a lot more could be accomplished. So; how best to let find out where other CERT members are?
As a starter I have created the map below at www.zeemaps.com (Search for "KnoxCERT") and added my approimate location. The idea is that members can add their approximate location, then if they see someone near them they can message them on this board if they want to. 3 or 4 CERT's in a neighborhood could provide a very strong support during a disaster. The map is free, and do not even have to sign in to create/edit, just need the admin password. Can also add meeting points, shelters, etc.
NOTE: This is just an idea! If anyone knows of a better way for us to coordinate and find those near us, please share!
