Busy day - stuff at the store and learning Triage
Put in a couple hours at the store -- for tax reasons, a number of the cash register departments needed to be reprogrammed. Having programmed registers before using the keyboard and register display I am incredibly grateful that Sharp stuck a USB port on their registers and developed an application that allows programming through Windows. get stuff the way you want it onscreen, upload it to the register and go from there.
Ran into town for two meetings, grabbed a bite and headed out to Class #3 of my CERT training. Tonight we covered Triage. There is a method called START (
Simple triage and rapid treatment) developed in 1983 and now used by fire departments and EMT groups throughout the USA.
My community is miles from any services -- there is a volunteer fire station about five miles away but in a large disaster setting, they will be spread really thin. Forest fires, earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions are not unknown here. Pays to be prepared.
We had an issue with Zombies two years ago but after I got my Zombie Killah, they are all gone -- still keeping ready though -- could be another outbreak...
