Preparedness Works 17 - Preparedness As a Civic Responsibility

About this episode

This episode discusses the concept of preparedness as a civic responsibility and its implications for society.

From the era of American Civil Defense to the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, and basically nothing in between, before, or after, preparedness was recognized as a civic responsibility, but those times focused on specific threats for their day. Is individual preparedness, outside a structured government system, a benefit or detriment to society? You can guess my answer, but let's see if you agree (if you don't, then we should chat sometime on the show).
