Working in disaster relief TOGETHER means we see the big picture. We realize that we, as Pagans working collectively, can make a much more powerful and organized impact than when we simply promote our individual covens or personal interests on our own. We who are solitaries, when we work together with all local covens, show how very amicable and organized we as Pagans truly are.
The more Pagans who get trained in Community Emergency Response, the more members who can respond to more dire situations when they arise. Being trained means you receive volunteer notices directly (and you can then can turn around to help keep our members informed).
EARTH member Sarah Reid (of TERRA fame) learned of a 3-day training opportunity for those willing to self-pay to become a Community Emergency Response Team
member as soon as possible.
For a mere $45 tution, you can earn your CERT credentials December 4-6, 2009: Contact Sarah K. Miller, city of Auburn, at skmiller@auburnwa.gov. That's Sarah K. Miller, Auburn Emergency Management, Attn: Training, 340 E Main St., Suite 201, Auburn, WA 98002. Make checks payable to WRVCCC.
This proposed training opportunity is a "quick and dirty" concentrated version to give you the skills you need to provide First Aid and do collapsed building search and rescue in just one extended weekend.
Love and light,
~ SunTiger
Reminder: Keep your eyes and ears open for volunteer events (in disaster preparation or relief) and notify EARTH at http://paganresponders.blogspot.com/ so we can share that information with our members. Please also keep this network of Pagans abreast of any training opportunities in Ham Radio, emergency response, and first aid.

Here it is. CERT training for $45. I would like to pay for several tuitions for ANYone who would be prohibited by the $45 tuition.
Is there a better way than sending the money directly to the address announcing the training? I can send a check with a note from John Major/EARTH
I would like to make the scholarships most available for pagans, but that goes against what we are attempting to do: to help all who reach out regardless of affiliation.
John ~ I don't think paying the tuition for Pagans goes against what we are trying to do. Our goal is to spur Pagans into action, give them opportunities to network so we can better serve our communities. I'll post your offer on FaceBook (so folks can contact you that way as well).
Thanks, Tami. I see your point. My offer still stands for tuition to enable Pagans to get CERT training.
You, sir, are totally awesome. On behalf of all EARTH members . . . THANK YOU!
