So you want to be more prepared to help yourself and your family?  Yet are unsure where to start.

A couple of websites for getting supplies together for basics are:

Both will help provide ideas and list! For some actual hand on practical training i suggest.

To located a local team for your area see the above link above if you have any questions what a CERT Team is please see the same link for definition of that.  I am a CERT instructor and happy to answer any questions you may have about the process or program. (I am a volunteer not a paid staff member.)
