Are our City Emergency Team,Desert Sands Unified School District leaders really communicating to eachother for EQ emergency preparedness? If so, our safety committee at Franklin Elementary aren’t getting that communication. Our 10/15 drill was a joke.
Who will be checking on children at LQMS, Adams, Truman, and Franklin Elementary Schools? Station#32, Station #70?

Adams is one block from City Hall, and Franklin School is three. Should we bring the kids to the bowels of city hall?
We need to know at the individual school sites, that others (besides us), are thinking about the kids.
