@@Disastersurvivalskills I decided to get my ham license after working both the Moore and El Reno tornadoes in 2013. Here in Oklahoma it's a big part of storm spotting.
@@ronaldrobertson2332 CB is only 4 watts I believe. It can talk long distances when the conditions are right. Ham covers both potential short and long distances. Often repeaters cover local areas and are used for Skywarn operations.
Anything that is even on both sides and non collapsible under load will work. Of course we train all our schools and business clients how to use cribbing as a tool and to have on hand as they would any preparedness supplies. If you have search teams in place, you should have cribbing also. That being said if one is in a situation without cribbing and they have training they can improvise with what is at hand.
Good job teaching ! CERT is a great course. I also stress ham radio in my classes and videos.
Ham radio operators all an amazing asset in an emergency and a great bunch of folks.

Could CB radios work just as good if you can't get a ham radio?

Thank you
On a 24 in crib I was always taught 4 inch over hang each side. Smallest over hang ever heard was 2inches each side.
For heavy rescue (building collapse) that would be appropriate. We are teaching light rescue while stabilizing contents only.
I understand the concept. Without wood blocks at hand, then what? Any demonstration using debris left after an earthquake, for example?

Very helpful!
You could improve this video by keeping the camera focused on the action rather than the instructor.
Great share thank you!
Excellent fire man...
Actually they are school staff learning how to save lives, taught by a retired firefighter.
Awesome, now the next time I'm at the hardware store and something falls down on a person I'll know just what to do! 😂
Imagine not knowing what's going on your stuck under somethin then people show up and start playing with wooden blocks 😄
