I am currently establishing a local CERT team in my neck of the woods and have an agreement with the county emergency management department to provide an appropriate training. Free of charge for us, of course. It's going to take 7 weeks, 3 hours one night a week. All the course materials are available online at FEMA website. Please join if you are interested and planning to either be a part of your local CERT team, or start one. Or just for the hell of it. The course covers few survival topics, from small fire suppression to light search and rescue and will be educational no matter what. And it's FREE ))

The class will most likely start in 2 or 3 weeks (I'm kind of rushing there, for I want few people to be ready by the hurricane season).
