even if your town doesn’t have a CERT program, you may be able to find one nearby. i know i used to be in CERT, and it’s a great way to learn, but it’s been disbanded. so now i have to travel 5 to 20 miles to get to one of 4 other towns with CERT programs. many allow neighboring towns to sit in on training. i have been to flood-control, first-aid, ham liscense, setting up an emergency shelter, setting up an emergency command center, and others…PRICELESS, and it was all free…..plus, if something really happens, you will get to know what’s going on.
