In July 2010, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), at Secretary Janet Napolitanos direction, launched a national If You See Something, Say Something public awareness campaign a simple and effective program to raise public awareness of indicators of terrorism and violent crime, and to emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity to the proper state and local law enforcement authorities. While CERT teams predate this campaign by 25 years, the evidence is overwhelming that the program has been realigned to confirm to that mantra. Other than public relations/recruiting activities, the only service opportunity presented since I joined was entering surveillance data during a large community event.
If you are concerned about the federal government spending your tax dollars to train your neighbors to spy on you, the shadow army they are building through their Incident Command System should keep you up at night. It includes 428,500 men and women trained (as per the 2012 National Preparedness Report) and organized into local units. Units which have established call-out procedures for emergency response that will work just as well when the emergency is you. Sure, there are those who will refuse to respond (I will be at my retreat), but many will submit to the National Defense Resource Preparedness executive order signed by Barak Obama on March 16, 2012 which redefined authority expanded under the 2009 re-authorization of The Defense Production Act of 1950. The executive order makes it crystal clear that any labor deemed necessary in a state of emergency may be conscripted at the discretion of the government.

Apparently, folks are using some kind of bath salt to get high and this is what's causing these attacks. Source of this info is one of my generator customers, she's the wife of a LEO.
However we all know that "Bath Salts" is code for the ZOMPOC virus...!
My thoughts and experience exactly. I am a CERT member for Travis County, and it has pretty much just been about being aware of circumstances and surroundings and being prepared to take care of yourself and your neighborhood in case of emergency, as they state pretty clearly that if things go Tango-Uniform, help ain’t coming any time soon so you better be ready to take care of things yourself.
