Anybody here CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Certified? I did it a few years back, they have good training in first aid, search and rescue, taking charge of your neighborhood during an emergency and so on. Some Counties will call up CERT's in case of emergencies to help local officials with whatever need they have. A couple years back we had a bad snow storm and some 911 operators could not get to work so the County Cert officials got some of us to that could come in to do 911 calls and got some CERT people with 4 wheel drives to go get the regular 911 operators. After the regular crew showed up, some of us stayed around to bring coffee and snacks to the operators and Police. All volunteer of course, we did not "have" to do it. After the classes they gave us backpacks full of tools, gloves, masks, flashlight and other stuff, even a green CERT hard helmet! LOL It is FREE, course and all! Just washed my CERT shirt and thought I would ask.
