OTOH, my very capable wife is learning a lot of new and useful stuff, as are many other folks in the audience with us.


I too found that this aspect of CERT may have been the most valuable part of the training to me personally. Getting my wife involved, thinking, preparing and equipping was really not possible prior to the CERT classes. Talking about an emergency contact number, buying a few supplies for home, prep of a 72 hours kit, and HAM radio were all subjects that came up and we acted on after CERT classes.

This has to be the best thing that came from the training.

We have a family plan in place that never would have happened without CERT.
