Many years ago I had a broadcasting third phone, and my CB call was KDN7276 (not saying that I used it very often ).

I was going to vote in the poll, but I'm already in a militia. Didn't think to put that option in, Tom?

There you go, a choice just for you Matt! Please vote again everyone! Thanks!

So call it the Delaware Safety Corp or some other name that is PC and friendly...be selective with membership/run background checks,etc. Assign ranks based on life experience and skillset. Talk to the Governor for support, and give him the authority to mobilize the "Corp" as needed (like during the storm), that way it's official and you might get some funding, or at least resources. You might get some retired or even active guardsmen this way, and they will bring a lot to the table. Get tied in with CERT and they will offer training. And with it being non-profit, you could probably get volunteers to train in CPR etc.

<hint>This sounds a lot like a search and rescue team.</hint>

Is an 'unorganized' milita something you would belong to?

The more unorganized the better... but, actually, I would never join any group that would have me as a member.
