Minimi, great suggestions.<br><br>I thought about joining all of those :)<br><br>Air National Guard, not sure about, because I may leave California and immigrate to the US, not sure if it would transfer over.<br><br>My school has an emergency comms group, but the door is ALWAYS locked and the contact people never get back to me. Not the type of group I would like to join, IMO.<br><br>The city has an emergency group that seems quite involved and meets once a month. Unfortunately, it is on the same night as a campus fellowship meeting so I haven't checked it out yet.<br><br>The question is will the smaller civic groups be able to adequately help, or are they (like the National Guard, who were my heroes of the LA riots) usually thrown to the wolves (sheep)?
