... is nice, but it would have been nicer to mention my name! ;-) LOL
Nevertheless, what I e-mailed to the Instapundit bears repeating:
Glenn, if you are so inclined, please remind people that one of the best things to do to be prepared for disasters is to be trained in first aid and CPR. Too many people (myself included, but I'm planning to fix that) don't even know the basics of first aid, and ought to.Secondly, a plug: If anyone can, please try to volunteer at and be trained by local fire and rescue/emergency medical units, especially in more rural areas. Many men and women volunteer their time to serve their communities in this way, and they are CRITICAL. I am so proud of my husband, because he saw this need in our community, and stepped up to the plate.
Each person who aids their neighbors this way deserves our deep gratitude and recognition!
