Mutual Support Groups (MSG's): A Local Idea - Page 2

Bob Wyre · 09-28-2008

I second the idea of finding a way to break it down to geographical areas. I'm in the Ft. Wayne area. Any other like minded members in this area?

Trechres, will you be at the Appleseed shoot at Wabash in October?

As of right now I am not scheduled to be there. I will be at Ditchwater II though.

I think this is one of the best idea's I have heard of in a long time.

I have a suggestion for an excellent way to start such a group. IDHS, Marion County Emergency Management Agency, and I assume other county emergency management agencies, provide training under a program called CERT, Community Emergency Response Team. There is no cost to participants and the 24 hours of training, as given by Marion County EMA, can be tailored to suit participants' schedules. CERT is based on the premise that people will help in a disaster/emergency so training them on some basic search and rescue, first aid, fire fighting, hazard recognition, etc. is a very good thing. There is no firearms training involved in this but, when I was helping with the CERT training, there were a few people packin' in some of the classes. Once a team has completed the training, they are encouraged to continue meeting and training on their own. If you're interested in doing this, contact your county emergency management agency. For Marion County, PM me and I'll be glad to put you in contact with the local CERT training coordinator.

The wife and I would certainly be interested. We are in the Lafayete area.

SilentWarrior1 · 10-07-2008

So, I have a question.

Are we going to have like a group coordinator? Not necessarily a leader, but someone who keeps track of who's capable of doing what and responsible for contacting people in times of need? How is all that going to work?
