New Year- New Goals

I must say the end of they year got really busy for me. However the good news is that things are starting to level off and everything seems to be coming together.  Now back on topic. I have volunteered with different groups since i was in 4th grade. I graduated high school in 2001.  Since middle school I have volunteered with first responders in different roles. I currently would say my volunteer work is mostly done with a group of people who are all volunteers we come from different paths. We are all trained to respond during a disaster. We are what most would call disaster reservist. 

Basically if the disaster is large enough that those who are first line first responders are over whelmed we would handle the less effected areas. I live in a part of the country that is likely to be effected by flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, and more. Often these disasters are not just one incident a few will happen. We all have trained in a basic course that covers a bit of everything from fire suppression, to evidence recovery.  I have been doing this type of work for almost 10 years I have been certified to do such for 6.5 years. I am now one of the guiding voices over the county's team and I will be taking a course this month to help teach the course to beginners. I am super excited to be able to step up.
