If it's not, you may want to work on partnering with local emergency services to get one going.
- forkandwait 9y agoIsn't that a one off class? Cool, but an organization needs maintenance to be activated well in a pinch.
- lobotryas 9y agoDoesn't have to be. I have friends who participate in quarterly meetings for their city where they do drills for different emergencies.
- Casseres 9y agoI was a member of Galveston County CERT and still receive their emails. There are plenty of opportunities to continue training and help participate in drills. During Hurricane Harvey (and even afterward), I received quite a few emails asking for volunteers for different things. I highly recommend taking the training and volunteering with CERT.
