b y J e r r y Ta l l i n g e r – C u p e r t i n o C E R T m e m b e r
Earthquake, Where Do You Go For Help?
OK, now that there has been a major earthquake
up near Napa, it’s time to get educated about
earthquakes and what to do. Last month I wrote
about what to do once an earthquake hits and
having a good communication plan beforehand.
Now what? You need help and cell and home
phones are not working. You are not sure where
the nearest Fire Department is, and you or your
neighbor has an injury which needs medical help.
Or there is a fire in the neighborhood. Luckily
Cupertino is one of the few Bay Area cities that
is well prepared. There is a network of reporting
stations, called ARKs, which are located throughout the city and will be setup and staffed by the
Cupertino Citizen Corps volunteers. You should
know where your assigned ARK is located and go
there to get help, report hazards, or to get emergency related information.
What are the ARKs Located?
During an emergency, ARKs or Emergency
Reporting Stations can be found at the following
Cupertino locations:
• De Anza College, 21250 Stevens Creek
Boulevard
•Hyde Middle School, 19325 Bollinger Road
• Lawson Middle School, 10401 Vista Drive
•Garden Gate Elementary School, 10500 Ann
Arbor Avenue
• Monta Vista Fire Station, Stevens Creek @
Prado Vista
• Seven Springs, Prospect @ Stelling Road
• Cupertino.org/ARK
Also see:www.cupertino.org/ARK
What is an ARK and What Can the Staff
Help With?
The ARK will be staffed by Citizen Emergency
Response Team (CERT) team members, Medical
Reserve Corps (MRC) members, and Cupertino
Amateur Radio Emergency Service (CARES) members. The task of an ARK is to take in incident
reports from the residents and either handle the
emergencies or pass the needs and information
to the Cupertino Emergency Operations Center
(EOC). If the ARK has enough staff, the members
can do light search and rescue, first aid, damage
assessment and safety containment. The ARK will
also pass along information to the public that it
gets from the EOC, such as shelter information,
water locations, sewer and water safety, and other
emergency information. An ARK is your link
between the EOC, and the public. ARKs contain
a host of supplies which are used by ARK staff for
the functions above. It is important to remember
that they are not emergency food, water or equipment depots for resident use. It is important that
If you do only one thing
to prepare this month:

you have emergency supplies, like food, water,
flashlights, an AM/FM radio and first aid kit, for
you and your family for 3-5 days. We do offer a
free Earthquake Preparedness Class to help you
get ready. See the listing below to set up a class
for your neighborhood. During an emergency the
EOC will be staffed by city leaders from various
critical departments, SCC Sheriff Representatives,
SCC Fire representatives, and various other emergency representatives. It is the EOCs job to set
the priorities and give direction to the Community Emergency Response Volunteers and to allocate resources where they will do the most good
for the greatest number of citizens.
Upcoming Public Sessions:
FREE! Earthquake Preparedness and Home
Safety. The class is one hour and is scheduled on
request for Cupertino businesses, churches, or
social groups of 8 or more. This class can come to
you! Contact the Cupertino Office of Emergency
Services (OES) at 1.408.777.3335, email OES@
cupertino.org for more information, or to request
a class for your company, group or organization.
FREE! Personal Emergency Preparedness
Class (PEP) offered by the Santa Clara County
Fire Department. The class covers Earthquake
safety, Disaster preparation, Disaster communication tips, First aid techniques that save lives,
Home safety, Fire Safety including how to use a
fire extinguisher, Emergency supply suggestions
- and more! The next two PEP classes are: Tues,
October 14, 6 – 9 pm, Campbell Community

Last Chance for Free
Organic Compost
This Year!
• Residential documents
(for confidential onsite
shredding; two box limit)
The City’s compost
site will be open (during non-rainy, dry-site
conditions) until Saturday, October 18, Fridays and Saturdays, 8:30
- 11 am at 11998 Stevens Canyon Road (Stevens
Creek Quarry across from the dam). The site will
then close for the winter months. Bring your own
shovel, containers, and proof of Cupertino residency. Weather permitting, the compost site will
reopen on March 20, 2015. Visit www.cupertino.
org/compost for more information.
Please note: NO paint, toxic
chemicals, or mattresses
accepted.
Free Backyard Compost Class in
Cupertino
A free backyard compost workshop is scheduled
for Saturday October 4, 10 am - 12 pm at Cupertino’s Quinlan Community Center, 10185 North
Stelling Road. Register online with the County
of Santa Clara Home Composting Program at
www.reducewaste.org/classes. Cupertino
residents may request a free backyard compost
bin (limit 1 per household) after attending a
class. Contact environmental@cupertino.org.
For more tips about eco-friendly and droughtresistant gardening and landscaping designs,
visit www.bayareaecogardening.org.
For further information, contact Recology at 408.725.4020.
This event compliments the FREE e-waste drop
off offered for Cupertino residents by Apple
Computer (now at 1326 Kifer Road in Sunnyvale).
Recycling Carts are for Dry Recyclables
The City has been investigating liquid leaking
from recycling trucks while they service residential recycling carts. Residents may not be
aware that liquid contaminates the dry recycling
stream and may be causing leakage onto Cupertino streets. Used cooking oil can be placed
in a plastic container with a closed screw-top
and placed next to the recycling cart, but not in
it. Please make sure that all liquids are drained
from bottles and cans before placing them in a
recycling cart. This will prevent the leaking of
fluid from the trucks onto our streets and will
help with the efficiency of sorting our recyclables.
Extra Garbage This Week?
Use Your Free On-Call Pick-Up
Cupertino households may select two free oncall days per year. Each on-call collection allows
you to schedule pick up
of one of the following:
• Garbage
• Construction and
demolition debris
• Bulky goods
• Compostable materials,
yard waste and clean
wood waste

Water Conservation Tips
The results are in and it looks like June 2014 was Earth's hottest June on record (Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Combined with news that El Niño is looking to be weaker and more moderate than expected, this means that water conservation
must continue to be a way of life. Mandatory state water conservation regulation is also going into effect. Do your part! There are many ways of conserving water both inside and outside the home; here are a few tips for making your home more water efficient:
In the Kitchen/Laundry Room:
In Your Yard:
• Operate your clothes washer and dish
washer with full loads only.
Did you know that outdoor water consumption typically accounts for at least
50% of residential water use?
• Don’t leave the water running if you hand
wash dishes.
• Replace your clothes washer with a new
high-efficiency clothes washer, the second highest water user indoors.
• Water your lawn only when necessary.
Replace turf with drought tolerant plants.
• Set your irrigation schedule for the
season and your local conditions.
In the Bathroom:
• Plant drought tolerant species.
• Fix toilet leaks.
• Upgrade your irrigation hardware. Replace high flow sprinklers with drip irrigation (where appropriate). Santa Clara
County residents may be eligible for rebates for irrigation hardware upgrades.
• Shower instead of using the bath tub and
take shorter showers.
• Replace your old toilet, the largest water
user indoors. Consider replacing it with a
new and improved high-efficiency toilet.
These new models use 1.3 gallons per
flush or less. Rebates for high efficiency toilets, high-efficiency clothes washers and landscaping are available from
the Santa Clara Valley Water District. See
www.valleywater.org
• Install low-flow showerheads. Replace
older showerheads with new efficient
models that use 2.0 gallons per minute
or less.
• Turn off the tap while
brushing your teeth or
shaving.
• Hydrozone: when planting, group plants
together according to their water needs
to avoid over-watering.
• Water during the cool part of the day,
before dawn.
• Use mulch to cover non-turf areas.
• Install shut-off nozzles on all garden hoses.
• Sweep sidewalks and driveways. Hosing
down pavement around your home can
waste hundreds of gallons. A broom is
the best tool for cleaning these areas.
• Don’t water the pavement.
• Prevent water runoff on slopes.
• Check your irrigation system often
for broken sprinkler heads and irrigation
tubing.
• Don’t let water run while washing the car.
• Use a pool cover.
FACT: T
he average household residence uses over 100,000 gallons of water (indoor and
outdoor) in one year (Source: EPA). That’s a lot of water! Do your part and help
ensure our water supply for the future.
