My husband and I were invited to a fund raising dinner last night for Austin Disaster Relief Network, http://www.adrntx.org/. It was great to see some old friends and make a few new ones! This is an organization that is forming to help in times of disasters whether it is in Austin or we have people flocking into Austin (as in Ike and Katrina). I was impressed with how much they have accomplished. It is a network of the churches and Christian organizations in Austin committed to being prepared for disaster relief.
There will be a Training Conference Friday, June 11 and Saturday, June 12. Also First Responder and CERT (community emergency response team) training will be offered (20 hours) June 7-10 (6-10 pm) and June 13 (2-6 pm). CERT is nationally recognized training supported by FEMA and the Office of Homeland Security.
