Haha 
Loved the post!
Having responded to 5 national disasters with the Red Cross (Hur. Katrina, Rita, Ernesto. San Diego Fires, Wells NV earthquake) I have come across *many* people that are unprepared for disasters. I am blown away by how many people don't prepare and then proceed to live in the direct path of frequently occurring disasters (like hurricanes). Taking some of the basic FEMA classes (they're really fun and addictive!), gathering a 72 hour kit and having a basic family emergency plan can do wonders for your preparedness.
Back to the original topic of the thread....I would highly recommend FEMA classes for everyone. They're as addictive as CLEPs!
