...In Loving Memory of Peter Bannon...
5 days ago Peter Bannon passed away. This man was the definition of a gentleman. He was kind and funny. Extremely talented and knowledgeable . Gracious and always willing to help no matter how mundane the task. He was a dedicated husband to our CFO Donna Gilbert and the heartache of his passing cannot be expressed adequately in words. He will be missed greatly. Peter was a tough act to follow in so many ways. We will miss you.

Over the past year, we have suffered a huge loss in the field of community preparedness -- our dear friends, Bill Hopkins and Linda Pruett.

Bill Hopkins presence in community preparedness activism was a template in how to make things happen. His tenacity and steadfastness along with selfless dedication brought profound change to the SFV and LA County. His legacy has given a level of inspiration to continue the work he started. Although he is a tough act to follow, he has given us the tools to level up the service to our communities.

Linda Pruett was a cornerstone of leadership in the citizen emergency response and preparedness community for over 30 years. She was the biggest cheerleader for others and the money engine that drove so many other committees.
Linda’s ability to gather people and resources for the greater good will not be easily duplicated. She did the job of 6 people well with frequency.
Having known her as a student, colleague and friend she will never be forgotten. Soteria will continue to impact lives in honor of her memory.
