I recently interviewed Jim Arroyo, from the Yavapai County Preparedness Team (YCPT).

YCPT is a very active organization and is basically a one-stop shopping center for everything that is related to community preparedness. This is organization is so effective, so complete in its approach related to community readiness and citizen education, that their efforts are being copied nationwide by other communities under the auspices of an organization that is referred to as the UCPCT. 

My interview with Jim Arroyo can be heard by clicking here. The discussion in this interview, regarding current events and how it relates to the nature of community preparedness, is fascinating and illuminating. 

If your community is interested in emulating this effective organization, visit their website for more information on how to get started.
