It was a good overview of what to expect and what to keep in mind. I reconsidered my preparations and was able to fill in any gaps. Great course. If there had been links to checklists, etc., it would have been fantastic.

It is a very informative and professional course about surviving at disasters and pandemic environments in a urban level. The instructor is in my point of view a highly experienced and conscientious person to deliver and instruct the content to an audience with no experience like me. Thank you.

This course is a great introduction to the realities of a potential disaster situation and what you need to consider to be prepared. Course 1 had a lot of detailed information. Course 2 offered much less detail and emphasized the need to set up a plan specific to your own circumstances. A lot of food for thought. It's information that I hope I never need. But it's foolish not to be prepared in the event that you need to be self reliant.
