This was so worthwhile and I meant to mention it before. Now I needed to make a second post in the same day. Blasphemy I tell you! Good materials in here to help you prepare. I see that Californian's were busy preparing for a big shake just yesterday. Good on 'em!

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:00:00 -0600
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) today released the on-line IS-800.B National Response Framework (NRF), An Introduction training course. The NRF, which focuses on response and short-term recovery, articulates the doctrine, principles and architecture by which our nation prepares for and responds to all-hazard disasters across all levels of government and all sectors of communities.
This is a good jumping off point for getting involved in disaster response in your community. The Red Cross has others which may be more appealing to you and have a different approach. You may locate your local chapter of the American Red Cross at: http://www.redcross.org/donate/volunteer/ and then find disaster preparedness training resources at http://www.redcross.org/flash/course01_v01/.
