Tuesday, November 21, 2012 - Back to "normal".

This is the first entry not counting days before or after Superstorm Sandy.  I decided to stop using this method of entries since all physical effects of the Superstorm on my families life have ended now that internet has been restored and my car repaired.  But that doesn't mean everyone is back to normal.  I saw three separate places where trucks were repairing downed lines today.  Plus the occasional utility truck is spotted.  Up until about a week ago utility trucks were driving around in convoys.

Today, I worked on planning a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training class session to train four people who are interested in joining our county team.

Interest in the county CERT has picked up when Superstorm Sandy came to town.  It's a sad fact that the average person does not think about disaster preparedness until the event is upon them (when it's nearly too late).  I am trying to take advantage of the spike in interest in the team by scheduling a custom set of dates for training to suit the interested individuals.
