Motomom34 submitted a new resource: CERT Light Search and Rescue Operations - Basic training manual from CERT on search and rescue- done in slide show format Read more about this resource...
Been with CERT for 4 years and we are part of the city ECOMM back up comms network There is a ton of stuff on the FEMA(did he just say that ) website Community Emergency Response Teams | FEMA.gov Training Materials | FEMA.gov It always good to know how the gov plans to react to "events" before they happen so you can formulate a plan.
Just because it's the government doesn't mean it's completely worthless, just that there's a higher probability of it being effed up in the long run. Just sayin'
Good training resource, along with some comedy from the FBI about those dangerous "sovereign citizens" that they worked in when my wife and I attended a few years back.
CERT is something that evolved from the Community Policing thing. The funny part to me is they then trained people on CIRT, at the same time they quietly increased their recommendations to the sheep on the amount of food and water to keep at home, from 3 days to 7, and then added the get home backpack to their list of stuff. Hmmm maybe I should think abut prepping...
