We will ask state and local officials to create a new modern civil defense service, similar to local volunteer fire departments, to respond to local emergencies when the manpower of governments is stretched thin.

Very good to hear.

Now whose going to fax their governor's office tommorow to start driving forward??? - excellent suggestion. Not just state but local officials should be bombarded with calls, faxes, to encourage them to spend some of their mega $$$$ forcefully taken from us to set up the civil defense structure, plans, processes, supplies that we had back in the 60's - as well as encouraging neighbors to work together, etc. We are all in this together. We must work together - and we can - rather than to be selfish isolationists. We have work to do. Let's get to it.
