[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 12980, member: 1514"] Your disaster training post on the good morning thread reminded me of something. You said that you dreaded being stuck inside with an unruly difficult child. Back when I worked for social services we were mandatory red cross shelter volunteers. Yes I know that is a contradiction in terms. LOL. They made us work the shelters for hurricanes. Well of course, that also meant during hurricanes we had to take our little darlings with us. Now imagine me taking one ADHD and one bipolar kiddo into a shelter with approximately 2000 displaced people during a hurricane in a high school! It was complete chaos and torture for me. I was supposed to be working. There were way too many hallways for them to run down and classrooms for them to get into. Half the time the power would go out. We never knew how long we would be there. Ugh...I get ptsd just thinking about it. LOL. [/QUOTE]
