Great video John It is always a good idea to have a plan for a disaster and a plan for a fire escape route for your home and have a kit for first aid and maybe clothes for a couple of days.
Funny, just the other night I was researching flood plain, tsunami, earthquake maps for my community. Living on a fault line, my main concern is quake damage. Everyone around here grew up with quake preparedness but I have been trying to find more info on what sort of stuff the homeowner can structurally do to prepare. Beyond the basics but within the skill set of do it yourself.
good points, but its a fine line, in your road senario, you put up multiple signs, slow people people down, then add blinking light, then barricades, and if that doesnt work, what then, how far do you nanny society, it just gets to me sometimes.
@beast12101 well, I for one would appreciate warning signs, especially if I'm driving on roads that I'm not familiar with. People who drive that road every day might know all the curves, but not everybody will be so familiar. This was just an example of how one can mitigate a disaster and I don't think it really goes too far as a nanny state.
While i don't fully agree with the whole prevention, "we're going to save lives and everybody will live happily and safely!" idealogy, i do admit that learning about potential natural disasters and safety measures to survive those are very useful.
Btw, im a conspiracy theorist, so i dont like FEMA a lot, rofl.
@7Ronin49 LOL, I believe this country was founded on discourse and debate, so we might not always agree, but we should feel free to offer our opinions and view points. :)
Good information.
