School, and the American Red Cross. There was a general discussion around expanding the membership of AGREM to include the Charter and Assumption Schools. The Red Cross representative provided a detailed overview of services as well. The October POD drill was discussed -- this will be a second-time event and AGREM was asked once again to participate in an Emergency Management Coordinating capacity. As with last year's drill, the intention is to evaluate the speed at which people can flow through the POD and identify additional areas for process improvement. An after-action review of the October POD drill will be conducted at the November AGREM meeting. <p>The October Meeting has a number of guests present including representatives from the Avon Grove Charter School, Assumption B.V.M.

Action items from last May were reviewed, and it was reported that the propane generator was purchased and installed. Several key individuals participated in not only procuring the generator and getting it shipped, but they also donated time and effort to get it installed and functional. The generator will be a key factor in maintaining AGREM communications in the event of a prolonged power outage. Karl from CCDES presented information regarding the new Emeergency Operations Plan template that has been published by the state. After a problem with the initial CD images, new ones have been made and will be distributed to all of the municipalities. The EOP provides the basic information necessary to conduct emergency management operations for the municipality during a disaster. Once the EOP's are updated for each municipality member of AGREM, a single resolution for acceptance of the revised EOP's will be distributed to all township supervisors for re-approval. With the pending elections in November of new supervisors, the resolution and new EOPs will not be prepared until after the election results are finalized. <p>The September Meeting was the get back to business meeting for AGREM after the summer break.</p> <p>Action items from last May were reviewed, and it was reported that the propane generator was purchased and installed.
