Civil defence

Is anyone here a member of the civil defence?
it seems like it might go hand in hand.

I like the idea of joining and think I could be of use to them

It is something I have thought about too. At the moment I am not in a position to commit the time needed due to other commitments.
I was doing some work recently in a place that they were training members and St. Johns Ambulance volunteers to act as second responders in case of chemical/hazardous materials accident. The idea being that they would free up first responders for other jobs on site. I had a chance to observe them and talk to the organiser and people training them. I was very impressed with the training and commitment they had.
If you have the time I think it would be to everyones benifit to pick up as much training as possible in as many disciplines as possible especially first aid.

Depending where you live the mountain rescue could be another option, more fun too
