I just found out that our town is offering a CERT training session starting on the 26th of January. If you're not familiar, CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. It's really not a team though, it's a multi-week course that teaches residents how to take of themselves in emergency or disaster situations. As we all know, local services cannot help everyone at the same time. So, most of us, especially those living in the country or on the outskirts of town like me, are pretty much on their own for who knows how long.
Our self-sufficient life involves more than just growing food and tending animals. This is something that's been on my "to-do" list for quite some time and I'm glad it's being offered early in the year, before the demands of garden and livestock shows seem to take over our life.
I'll keep you posted on how it goes and what I think of it. But, in the mean time why not check out this course in your own cities. You can never have too much knowledge about how to keep your family safe.
