Achtung Gruppe!
Those of you still here have undoubtedly noticed my relatively conspicuous absence and that many of the sorts of things that I faithfully posted here for years from On This Date In California Weather History to the News & Notes Updates to hazardous weather bulletins to topical articles have been largely absent from this online community the past several months aside from Lin Kerns and a few others to a lesser extent. First off: a shout-out goes to Linsis and the others who have continued to contribute here, especially Linsis.
The reason for this has been my being so very busy with full-time status at Cal Poly SLO, including a summer class. I have also been busy with work as a security guard when not in class on Fridays & weekends. Aside from that, by getting behind I then feel overwhelmed and not motivated to get caught up when I do have spare time to at least chip away on what I want to post here.
That being said, I have not held back on Twitter which as a social networking platform is much more user-friendly from both the posting and browsing user ends. California Disasters is now up to 598 followers on Twitter. I initially chaffed at the idea of ever using Twitter and ignored it for a time. Former member/moderator Gene Salvetti was the first to push for my using it. Eventually I caved in a couple of years ago and now that is my favorite platform for California Disasters and the only one I have maintained full-throttle. If any of you still here on Yahoo Groups (which is in rapid decline as is Yahoo generally) faithfully following this group I implore you to join Twitter and follow California Disasters there if you have not done so already.

Aside from that, I promise to start posting here more often. I shall do this until I can no longer or it appears everybody here has left or Yahoo Groups shuts down this group or all its groups which is probably coming at some point.

Even this thread and all its traffic caused a small surge in folks unsubbing from this group! Thirty-three of you responded including our two regular mods. It's not quite time to abandon this platform for California Disasters yet I can see. We'll take it one year at a time!Below is an interesting overview of posting activity on this group!

Calling All Instructors
The Continuing Challenge Hazardous Materials Workshop is now accepting course proposals for the 2016 workshop, which will be held September 6-9, 2016 at the Red Lion Hotel Woodlake, Sacramento.
For 27 years the Continuing Challenge has served as the nation's largest gathering of hazardous materials emergency responders where basic and advanced knowledge and skills, and innovations, are presented. If you have something to share, please consider being a member of our faculty.
The following is a list of course content that is of particular interest to workshop students:
Basic HazMat emergency response advanced courses Industry specific such as refinery, rail, agriculture Product specific such as chlorine, ammonia, propane, HF Alternative fuels Radiological Monitoring/detecting/testing Responder health and safety Environmental concerns Professional skills in leadership and communication Innovative approaches Case Studies/Lessons Learned/Lessons Incorporated
Classes may be presented in lecture, panel discussion, demonstrations, and field activities format and should include common sense, user-friendly, and applicable tips and tricks that students can bring back to their respective organizations to implement. Year after year, students request instruction that includes exercises, hands-on activities, and case studies.
Courses may include specific product and company information provided the presenter includes a demonstration of the product and the course includes the science, chemistry, etc. of the product and does not use the session to sell a specific product.
We are always interested in new, innovative, challenging, or exciting courses. If you or someone you know would be an excellent candidate as an instructor at this workshop and will be available the week of September 6-9, 2016, please forward this email to them.
Submission deadline: Tuesday February 15, 2016 (Midnight, Pacific Standard Time)
