Why join a group?
Even the most competent person on the planet can't do everything alone. Disasters and emergencies are complex events. Having a team of people that you train with and know well is a vital resource. During a disaster each person should have a job they do and can do well. The rest of the team is relying on you to handle your tasks efficiently. A benefit of joining the group is that you can find the role and tasks that best suit you. Then you can learn from someone who is well versed in that role. Learning from each other is one of the best ways we can support our family, friends, and neighbors when they need it most.
