I'll second what Philip says. Someone who is CERT trained the responders can give or take, depending on their team and how they've been used in the past, but they will usually pass. Someone with CERT and more advanced first aid is a bit better; CERT with FA with a Ham license and willing to use it to connect rescue efforts or staff an EOC gets more interesting; but at the moment, CERT + FA + Ham + a Stihl 290 Farm Boss chainsaw and the wherewithal to use it to clear roads for fire trucks after a storm is golden. Don't expect any of the money-making trades to kick in much before the roads are cleared and a semblance of normal is restored. You want to survive and help others to do the same, make yourself useful. There's nothing on TV anyway.
