The other CERT: Community Emergency Response Team. Kind of off-topic for NANOG but I know that most of us are concerned with disaster recovery. This is the first local line. For US folks, there should be a CERT for you city or county, if not ask why. For Canadians, check with PEP. The CERT program trains you what to do when the offal hits the fan and the first responders are overloaded. https://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/about.shtm "The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help." -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, 360-474-7474
