Community Emergency Response – Personalized
Sharon March 17th, 2009
Today’s AIP focus is on community issues – education, extended family, aging and retirement issues. And in that spirit, I wanted to pass on a link that really impressed me, from Kathy Harrison’s blog.
It is a description of how her community came together to do CERT training – but decided that they could organize themselves better than the existing CERT program provided for. I was very impressed by this because I think it is easy to assume that the available templates for organization must be the best ones – and sometimes they may be. But it is, I think, important to consider the downside of adopting a template as well, and ask the question “can I do this in a way that is better for me and my community.”
Check it out!

The closing paragraph tells it all in my opinion. I need to say that I agree with it, and probably the most great thing about it is that you just left it open ended…this reveals that you are prepared to draw in new and completely different opinions and that you are ultimately very interested to see folks getting concerned in the subject. So, any various opinions?
I’m thrilled that I found this weblog. Finally not a junk site, which we can come back to regularly. Thank you for sharing this with us.
