I am a proud member of the VBCERT team here in Virginia Beach, VA. We are a force of over 700 citizens who have taken a series of classes on how to take care of ourselves before, during and after a disaster here in out city. You to can become a member by attending a series of 10 classes held in the evenings ate the Va. Beach Fire Training Center and taking a hands on practical on the final day of class.
