It would seem to me, that of the posts I've seen, those interested in survival, are also into helping others survive. I would encourage those who don't have training in how to help others, to get more.

For example:

- CPR (Adult and Infant/Child)
- First Aid (Red Cross and "wilderness")
- Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T)
- Amateur Radio (HAM)

I can't give legal advice, but for the most part, where states have good samaritan laws, they will protect you but only up to your LEVEL OF TRAINING. The costs are nominal, and while you have to get recertified to be covered under the good samaritan laws (from what I gather), the information you learn and the confidence you gain will last a lifetime.

Why sit around after a disaster, when you can help?

P.S. I'd be interested to know how many amateur radio operator are here. I've seen about 4 to 5.
