My wife and I did the cert course and loved it. Very informative and was really the start to my prepper journey.

 

Great! Are you going to continue, or just went for the class? Did your curriculum or freebie differ much from what we described above?

 

The curriculum was exactly the same. We got the equipment you listed, but we had paid a small fee ($40 or less each) to take the class, so I don’t know if call it a freebie. But it was all sold at cost so it was worth it to me.

 

How do I find out about programs local? The link is blocked because it is not a private connection!

 

Kind of ironic that the government hasn’t been able to keep their FEMA website “secure”! They still haven’t fixed it, so I’ve updated the links in story with a different zip code lookup. Give it a try.

You’ll be happy to know that FEMA finally released the new course materials!  I’m a CERT Trainer in Colorado Springs. Here’s the link (scroll down for the new materials):
