I am retired. I only serve on a volunteer basis now. But working in a hospital and working with local emergency management professionals has allowed me on the “other side of the rope” and I am amazed at what plans are out there.
Most places are exceptional about keeping them trained. Other places are a nightmare. Mostly what I learned is that you are often better off on your own or with similar minded folks. The general population tend to not worry about much more than the Latest NFL score.

I am hearing the same thing from hospital works too. Our local hospital system does not have enough beds if a mass outbreak happens like China.
I have six month supply of food, N95, gloves, and other supplies. We are ready to lock down if we need too.
