Description

Members provide emergency information so all can be better prepared to survive emergencies. Helpful links provide as much or as little information as you want. Members and visitors can also share survival experiences. Be not afraid to visit our group! We are preaching preparedness for the known emergencies we should expect for our areas, not Armegeddon! Be prepared for disaster humor too!
