No matter when you are listening to this podcast, mother nature is always coming up with a way to change the weather.
Tornadoes in the spring if you live in the mid-west US. Hurricanes or cyclones in the summer and fall. Blizzards in the winter.
If you are along a fault line, you have to worry about earthquakes and the possibilities of tsunamis. No matter where you live, you always have to keep this in the back of your mind.
One day, you might have to survive the storm!
Today's guest, Chris Gilmour, is an expert when it comes to emergency preparedness, and today is a great time to talk about the safety of your family, being prepared. Not only is Chris an urban and wildlife survival skills expert, but he also work with and trains many government agencies as a professional emergency preparedness consultant.
Chris' new course, Survive the Storms, is a great way to make sure you and your family are prepared.
This is a 7 day course that will take you about 30 minutes each day to complete. And with a full print guide to go along with this course, you will come out an expert at the end.
Don't have time to take it now, that is fine! You can sign up and take the course when you are ready.

Ham Radio University is an annual event on Long Island. While most of the topics at the event are centered around Amateur Radio, not all of the forums are strictly geared to the Ham hobby.
There are plenty of talks and activities that can be used in the scanner radio hobby as well.
Today's podcast is my presentation from HRU 2019. While some of the presentation is geared to those of us on Long Island, many of the topics are useful no matter where you live.
If you have been a long time listener of the Scanner School podcast, this session will be a great refresher on some of the content that we talked about over the past year.
