To help you learn how to use Zello, Rik Kasuga, a BNN board member who leads communications during BNN’s drills and serves as the city’s CERT Volunteer Program Coordinator, will host monthly BNN Zello Workshops. The latest one was held on Thursday, May 28, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Upper Level Meeting Room at the Burlingame Public Library. Download the Zello app on your cell phone. More information about how to do that is available here. In addition to your cell phone, bring your FRS radio, if you have one, for a short refresher about its use during the drill this year.
At this year’s drill, neighbors checking for simulated incidents, such as an injured person, will be invited to use Zello to call the Incident Commander leading the drill to request assistance with a victim. You can also use Zello to communicate with friends and family members anywhere in the world, and you can form a neighborhood Zello group to communicate about emergencies.
Once you have become familiar with Zello, you are welcome to join the BNN Zello Net which is held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. You may just want to listen in on the BNN Zello Net Channel, but at the Workshop you will also learn how to participate!
Rik invites you to contact him directly if you would like assistance.
