EPO Feb 2, 2026 Meeting -

Becoming a Resilient ‘Rossmoor Prepper - Unit 2’

Description and Table of Contents

Join the Rossmoor Emergency Preparedness Organization (EPO) for a presentation by Ron Halog, emergency preparedness coordinator for Independent Living Resources of Solano and Contra Costa counties, at 10 a.m. Monday, February 2, 2026.

The Emergency Preparedness Unit 2 training builds on the first training presented at the November 3, 2025 EPO meeting. Halog will give a quick overview of the 1st training, which was about "what you can do to get prepared". The second training will focus on "what your house can do for you to get prepared".

There are 3 objectives for the 2.0 training: 1). Making your home safe - non-structural mitigation; 2). Fire Safety; and 3.) Vial of life.

Halog uses humor, critical information, contests and prizes to engage folks who may be uncomfortable with the dreaded “d” word (“disasters”) and who may feel apathetic – even “frozen” – to actively get engaged in preparing themselves and their households with the critical supplies needed to survive and thrive following an area-wide disaster or emergency.

Halog has many years of experience helping seniors and people with disabilities and functional limitations get themselves fully prepared so they can remain independent during and following disasters and emergencies. His goal is to teach Rossmoor residents to get prepared simply and easily one small step at a time.

During the Rossmoor EPO presentation in Peacock Hall, Halog offered several games and contests, and there were donated prizes for the winners of the contests. There were several Go Bag Backpacks, and other valuable emergency supplies. There was something for everyone, including those attending on Zoom.

An Emotional Go Bag: Mentally Preparing for a Disaster

Description and Table of Contents

Bill Coy (Vice-President) of the Rossmoor Emergency Preparedness Organization (EPO) made a presentation on Monday, March 2 at 10 am titled “An Emotional Go Bag: Mentally Preparing for a Disaster”

Bill helped residents understand the importance of psychological readiness in times of crisis.

When we think about preparing for disasters, our minds often jump to physical necessities: emergency kits packed with food, water, flashlights and first aid supplies. These are the primary elements needed for our physical survival.

However, one of the most crucial aspects of preparedness is often overlooked – the state of our minds and emotions. Just as we assemble a physical “go bag” to help us survive a disaster, it is equally important to create an “emotional go bag” to support our mental and emotional well-being during challenging times.

The presentation included:

• Understanding the importance of emotional support

• Core items and elements of an Emotional Support Kit

• Actions to take now to be better prepared
