To help test our local emergency response services, I was a volunteer victim in a County-wide (Carroll County, MD) disaster exercise on August 2, 2008. The scenario tested was a tornado touching down on a family picnic at the Farm Museum of Carrol County grounds. The Carroll County Office of Public Safety ran the exercise.
The purpose of Poetslife is to promote the art and discipline of American Tactical Civil Defense for families and small businesses and to contribute practical American civil defense preparedness guidance for all Americans through my articles in the The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA.ORG) Journal of Civil Defense and leadership as the volunteer Vice President of TACDA.
