Dear Deputy Scheller,
It has been a number of days since we've spoken. Last month's Camporee really preoccupied us, since our scoutmaster was chair for the event, and I served as the chief medical officer
for the ~600 scouts that participated.
But, back on track, I now have an idea of group size, with 12-15 scouts expressing interest in doing the emergency preparedness merit badge and likely more who would want to simply partake
in the fun. Our scoutmasters (boy & girl troops) also indicated that if you want to "do it big," that we can also invite the neighboring troops as well.
Again, I appreciate your willingness to help and your enthusiasm. Should we try to meet in person to discuss?
I like beer. But I understand if you're on duty, we can settle for coffee.
Sincerely,
-Louis R. Ng

This message is from an EXTERNAL SENDER - be CAUTIOUS, particularly with links and attachments
CAUTION: This message originated outside of our City of Diamond Bar network.
To Ms Clarke and Villasenor, and Mr. Scheller:
I find your names under the Diamond Bar Public Safety listing, and thus am contacting you as one of the BSA merit badge counselors for "Emergency Preparedness" in our local district.
Per BSA requirements, the scout needs to "Take part in an emergency service project, either a real one or a practice drill, with a Scouting unit or a community agency."
Since my troop (777 in Diamond Bar) doesn't have any emergency services in place, and because DB has an Emergency Operation Center that:
To prepare for emergencies, the City does the following:
* Conducts frequent staff training
* Holds tabletop exercises
* Participates in the annual Countywide disaster drill
* Identifies resources to be used in emergencies
* Tests coordination efforts with external organizations

If one of you would please inform me of any upcoming "staff training" or "tabletop exercies," or when the "annual Countywide disaster drill" would be, it would greatly help.
Alternatively, Troop 777 with 70+ scouts and adult volunteers, has the potential to mobilize significant man power to aid in local disaster relief or assistance. If there is any interest,
I would like to explore the possibility of a disaster plan of action between our troop and the Diamond Bar Emergency Operation Center. This would become part of the requirements for
the current T777 scouts earning their Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge, but more importantly, would also benefit our community as well.
Please let me know if there is any interest, or if I should contact any alternative persons or departments instead.
Thank you in advance,
-Louis R. Ng, MD

the residents, as evaluations will still need to be determined based on insurance coverage and damage percentage of property. The information will allow the state and FEMA to determine
potential eligibility based on site visits.
Please see the email below from Deputy Director Leslie Luke.

Subject: Property Damages
All,
We will be initiating the County survey to collect damages in the OA from residents who have suffered property damages from the storms. Please inform your cities to provide the link
to their residents that have contacted them or will contact them for assistance. We are capturing information from all storms as the State is trying to combine all of the events.
There’s a slim chance we may be able to receive a SBA Declaration, but FEMA IA will be a long shot.
The message we will be putting out on social media is below and residents can also get there from the County’s webpage.
Los Angeles County residents are asked to submit information on property damages resulting from the February & March 2023 Storms.
Click here to submit: https://arcg.is/1LOiam <https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2farcg.is%2f1LOiam&c=E,1,6Q7XCS9mEPS0Xqwtq6ThcR444BRcZgJLGQ9aIBWuog4YyVjT9zbMUJdKeaw7n1SPPMq3iujCVpgWd
iLYteCyvJA406-SjliHvWgj1LiY8q4,&typo=1>
Information will assist in understanding extent of local impacts & advocate on behalf for State & Federal assistance. This survey is not an application for financial assistance, nor
does it indicate that assistance is available currently or in the future.

Leslie Luke
