Say, some of us are giving serious thought to an intiative to develop block shelters in existing homes. I have a 3 page proposal to share with anyon interested and can send that as a pdf file attached to an email.
Imagine that you are at home. The siren goes off, announcing a serious emergency. If you are so fortunate to have one, you head for your basement. If not, where do you go?
Now, quick, of the three households in front of you, three behind you, three to the left of you and three to the right, how many can you name who are safely sheltered?
You now understand a serious gap in our emergency preparedness. And you also see an opportunity not only to improve public safety but to start rebuilding declining neighborhoods and sense of community.
The proposal will be sumitted in current or modified form to the Cameron City council soon.
