As both an Amateur radio operator Emergency Communications and a CERT - Community Emergency Response Team member found the above training very good., As I have participated or taken part in both a functional exercise or functional drill and a live Point of Dispensing (POD)

CERT - Community Emergency Response Team is mentioned in the course above.,

But there has been no mention on any of the Online Training that I have taken so far on how important that Amateur Radio operators in Emergency Communications can play a key role in Mass Dispensing.,

The functional drill as I call it was for the mock flu pandemic drill at Bethel Health Care and then the live Point of Dispensing (POD) was for the Town of Ridgefield CT,Connecticut H1N1 Vaccination POD

Below are two of my Youtube videos un the two subjects I have mentioned above., These videos where made by a collection of photos that I had taken., So no sound to them I'm just a amateur volunteer.,
