Grab your Team 1 Radio and Logistics Backpack that includes:
- lantern (insert 3 AA batteries from bag, 3 AA extras included)
- clipboard
- paperwork
- pen
- NOAA radio (if included, only 6 in the HOA)
- walkie-talkies (if included, insert 3 AAA batteries from bag)
The lantern bottom unscrews to insert the batteries.
To add batteries to the walkie-talkies, remove the belt clip.
This is done by lifting the small tab on the belt clip and pushing up.
Once the clip is removed, the battery compartment can be opened.
The batteries are kept in a zip lock bag to avoid damaging everything in the event of battery leakage during storage.
The rechargeable batteries and USB-charger that came with the walkie-talkies is also in the bag but is not immediately needed.

Go to your Neighborhood Gathering place and meet your CERT leader.
If no leader is present in your gathering place, check the other 3 sites until you find a CERT leader.
