The kcredstar aka fishwrap, has lead stories of the local and county emergency plans. A total of 40 million dollars has been spent to draw them up. The gist of which is "decisions can't be made until the disaster strikes, that's why they aren't written in stone." or "We'll (emergency managers" all get together and decide what to do".
Sounds like the YOYO plan : "Yer on yer own".
Well, OT, you missed quite an air show, a flight of A-10s is apparently going to do a fly by at the Chief's game. I was outside watering the garden, and heard 'em coming. LSA, I and the rest of theshire was treated to quite an airshow. They were flying low, and apparently using the old mill as their turn point. Came in from the south west, banked right over town and headed out south east. Must have a made a dozen or so passes. Flying in pairs. What a wonderful sight. God Bless the Pilots and all those who serve.
YOYO plan...heh. Hadn't heard that one before.
After the Great Blackout two years ago, it was discovered that Macomb County's "emergency command center" was a room in a leased county office with a phone jack, a table, and two chairs. I guess $12 million in post-911 emergency funds doesn't go very far.
Wayne County's $50 million in emergency equipment is stored in five semis hidden behind county buildings at Metro Airport. They are supposed to contain firefighting and medical equipment and radios. Nobody knows for sure because they're under lock and key.
Except for about a dozen $16K generator systems, which wound up installed at the homes of county bigshots (all RATs). They took them because, "we have important duties in an emergency, and we don't want to worry about our homes and families while we manage the emergency".
That's pretty much my immediate post-disaster plan anyway.
I'm back in KS now...Miss Cat has had her wet food.
Hehehehe....my uncles and cousins thought it was pretty funny that I'm still plagued with squirrels and compounded with chipmunks.
