So lets get something out in the open! Do you know why all the messaging is for three days, prepare, etc???? Because we in Emergency Management know that in a big disaster we can't be everywhere. There are not enough first responders in a big disaster.
Well that's what FEMA is for, right? http://www.fema.gov/medialibrary/collections/944 See any pictures of FEMA folks doing rescues? Nope. They won't be here for two to three days in force. What you see is folks already there, neighbors, coworkers,etc. FEMA is about recovery.
Not trying to make you afraid or to rush out and call your councilperson, but I want to make sure we are all at the same point. So what should you do next? Follow this Blog and others. Pay attention to what is going on in your community & take responsibility to prepare you, your family, neighbors, pets and business.
