I am at a training with my work and we are learning how to be volunteer disaster response people!  very fun.  i have learned how to assess victims, carry them from the disaster area to safety, make a splint from random materials, build cribbing to lift fallen debris off victims, stop a wound from bleeding, and we got to put out a fire with an extinguisher.  tomorrow we are having a drill with "victims".  it should be fun.  more pictures to come!

    Well, I am SO glad you know all these emergency action steps in case we get too wild at some family gathering and have need for these great recovery services! I like those clear goggles, I need those right now during allergy season!
