EP 17 Preparing The Community Jul 13, 2017

Show notes

Jennifer has always been that busy woman with food, water, duct tape, trash bags, and a change of clothes in her car. In 2012 Jennifer and her husband took a (CERT) Community Emergency Response Team course through the city of Seal Beach. The gear issued by CERT was one size fit none, and so she went in search of a pair of women's fit gloves. When looking for a pair of gloves Jennifer discovered that the marketplace was lacking women's gear. At the same time she was telling her friends about her training. Jennifer heard the same three sentiments from several moms in her neighborhood: They knew they needed to be prepared but didn't know where to start They had started a backpack and had been overwhelmed in the process Getting prepared stayed on their to do list for several years So Jennifer started out to outfit the women in the world of emergency/disaster volunteering and preparedness.
