Join with AAA and the American Red Cross in protecting your community. After completing this free 90-minute workshop, you’ll know how to prepare for natural disasters common to your area and you’ll be equipped to serve as a Red Cross disaster-response volunteer.

Also available is the Hands Only CPR App which is free to download from Itunes!

When an adult has a sudden cardiac arrest, his or her survival depends greatly on immediately getting CPR from someone nearby. Unfortunately, less than 1/3 of those people who experience a cardiac arrest at home, work or in a public location get that help. Most bystanders are worried that they might do something wrong or make things worse. That’s why the American Heart Association has simplified things.

Two steps to save a life.

If you see an adult suddenly collapse, you should perform Hands-Only CPR:

1. Call 911.
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest. (watch the video)

This application will teach you how to perform Hands-Only CPR through video instruction.

This application brought to you by the American Heart Association, the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary health organization dedicated to building healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke. Learn more by visiting www.HandsOnlyCPR.org.

Remember, be the best you can be by being prepared for any situation! It could save a life! How many of your friends know CPR? Organize a group so you can all learn together! Have you or someone you know ever had to perform CPR or need it? What happen? Tell us your CPR story below!!! Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin alive!

BART workers went on strike Friday and trains are shut down, setting the stage for the second Bay Area commute nightmare in three months.

Just after midnight, union leaders picked up picket signs and said they would not go back to work until they reach a contract agreement with management, stranding 200,000 people who ride BART roundtrip each day. Although workers had threatened strikes five times in the past week, this time they had finally reached their breaking point.

Bart is recommending telecommuting if that’s an option or find alternative routes. Either way I’m sure this will throw a wrench in many people’s plan this morning. Drive safe today, it’s going to be crazy out there.

After 15 days of a government shutdown and on the eve of when the country was set to lose its borrowing authority, Congress passed legislation to fund the government and avert a default Wednesday night.  President Obama later signed the bill, officially reopening the government and allowing federal employees to head back to work.

This means that 401 National Parks & attractions  like Yosemite, Muir Woods, Alcatraz & even John Muir’s House in Martinez will be reopened to the public.

This is sad news for all the illegal lemonade stands that reopened once the closure took place. Obviously this is a joke to poke fun at today’s photo of the day. For those of you who don’t understand the context behind this, you may want to read up on Lemonade Freedom Day.

The National Weather has issued a Red Flag Weather Warning due to gusty North winds and low humidity. This advisory is in effect through Saturday morning and covers those in the East Bay above 1000 foot elevation.

If your out on the roads tonight drive safe! If you smell natural gas, see downed power lines, or suspect another emergency situation, leave the area immediately and then call 9-1-1 and PG&E at 1-800-743-5000.
