In CERT, we learn "Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors as number of victims, communication failures, and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they have come to expect at a moment's notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs." (www.citizencorps.gov/cert/about)
You call 911 and you are unable to get through. How do you know if help is arriving and how bad is the situation?
One option is to find your local emergency agency on a scanner. The following website provides live feeds from across the country.
