I attended the Disaster Preparedness / Survival Skills class in Wrightwood yesterday. It was absolutely awesome! I think everyone - yes, EVERYONE - should attend this class.
The information is up-to-date and extremely helpful - I know it will be useful in any emergency situation, not just an earthquake or fire.
I highly recommend this class for everyone, including teens. Bennett is a great teacher and keeps you interested and enthused about what you're learning.
In fact, if your child is old enough to be left at home alone, they are old enough to take this class - My 14-yr old son will be required to take it when it comes up again. Just knowing what to do and what your options are in an emergency can keep the panic down and allow you to put your skills and common sense to work.
Watch this thread, as well as the newspaper, for details on the next class.
