This is my first entry in this blog.

So to start this off, who am I?
I am a computer I.T. professional and a volunteer disaster worker in a Community Emergency Response Team.  I currently live in Northwest New Jersey in the the New Jersey Highlands.  I grew up in Northern California with the ever present threat of earthquakes.  Disaster preparedness has always been something that I've been aware of or actively engaging in.

When Superstorm Sandy rolled in to our neck of the woods temporarily turning our lives upside down is when I started sending out emails/notes to like minded friends on what I was learning through the experience of a major grid down situation.

Those emails/notes are what I will start this blog off with.  As time goes on and Superstorm Sandy fades into a distant memory, I hope to continue this blog with updates on disaster preparedness.

Only time will tell how long I keep this up.
