This is a wonderful program offering, Roy. People seem to leave their emergency preparedness to the last minute from my experience. We all give it lots of lip service but don't take action.

How much snow did you end up with Roy? It missed us. We have only had a couple of inchdes since Novembers storm. But a big one coming up the coast for the weekend, just not sure if we will be on the rain or snow side?

With so many natural and other types of disasters occurring on a regular basis, this training class is very valuable to the citizens of Gaithersburg.

We hope we never need this type of training, but being prepared is the best course of action in event of the unexpected. D

It appears that we had over ten inches of show in Kentlands. Shoveling was quite a chore.

Roy, your post on emergency preparedness education class/training is just another great event in your area.  Seems it should be required for everyone over the age of 18.  In fact, even kids and teens could benefit by education such as this...witness toddlers calling 911 in an emergency...
