Default Fox News Now Reporting Major Metropolitan Cities Have No Safe MassEvacuation Plans in Place

nightbat wrote

The Katrina and Rita hurricane disasters have brought to US
National attention the dangerous lacking preparation for mass
evacuations in times of severe pending disasters. What played a great
part in preventing great loss of life in Louisiana was pre warning and
orderly evacuations of the bulk of residents before Rita hit land. With
Louisiana now under water many folks which refused to go however may
still be trapped with no means except boats to go check on them and help
save them. When questioned most large city officials admitted they have
no plans in place in case large scale mass evacuations are ever needed.
Oh the humanity, natural disasters are foreseeable yet very little
planning if any has gone into proper strategy to hopefully save folks
once a catastrophe takes place. With our Earth Science Team Officers
reporting looming potential trouble spots around the globe pertinent
emergency Officials admittedly have little back up plans or reserve
funds to properly address same.

Saving human life is of the highest priority second to none. With
rumbling volcanos and huge erupting fires out in the Northwest and
tremors being recorded daily along the California San Andreas fault.

See:
http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr...n_andreas.html

Also with additional hurricanes still due including midwest tornadoes,

See:
http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomfr...easeID%253D530

floods, possible coastal freak waves and tsunamis, not to mention
present terrorist war threat, mass evacuation plans are a must to
protect and prevent large loss of life.

Profound Earth Science Team excellent event predictions are best if with
science concerned warning the possible effected area has means for
proper safe mass evacuation or adequate national disaster protection of
its folks, property, and service infrastructure. We must always guard
against loss of hope panic, nature events anticipated, and unplanned
crisis event occurrence. Should one occur all emergency assistance
personnel must be ready to take planned orderly action to hopefully
prevent any or further loss of life. Now with our entire southern coast
still threatened and many parts under water we can't afford anything
less.

Just "duck and cover" :-)
Like they told you in the old days of possible nuclear attacks ....

P.S.: Just wonder where they put all those trillion dollars ...

Those were our innocent 50's days and we should be much more
prepared then that Officer Bohne. With the entire world now sending
emergency life saving team help and financial aid we need to do more
then just duck and cover. I can't imagine if New York, Chicago, or Los
Angeles for instance got catastrophic hit with no mass evacuation plans
in place. The bulk of the money always seems to get politically funneled
into pork barrel projects instead of the public health and safety. The
news being now reported is the various branches of military wants to
take over the emergency rescue and rebuilding of Gulf Coast area with
many questions being raised by local and State Officials. With the whole
Gulf Coast now practically under water and dams potentially breaking
civil authorities and military are arguing who has authority over
complete disaster areas?

This very likely applies to almost everywhere, had Rita or Katrina
happened here say along the south coast I have every confidence that
nothing would be in place and ready to enact. The same for any major
disaster be it natural or man made. Personally I would rather have the
military in control of it, politicians are mostly only concerned with
votes and popularity and corruption.

In the actual crisis that's not a bad idea - unless someone
had planned to let the civil forces decline in order to give
the military the upper hand, all the time ...?

True number 1 for who else has the ready available equipment and
large manpower to step in and help? But you know just because of
National disaster that doesn't mean the politics stops. Captains note:
No politics permitted aboard hopeful Darla Starships, no religious
infighting too.

Oh great, so the world waits for disaster then acts. Hmmmm, we

disaster the military should be permitted to come in and get the job
done.

I'm afraid we are all expendable, not worth the cost if you like. Even
here in the UK life is cheap, elderly are left to die in
hospitals(purposefully I believe going by some disgusting undercover
work by reporters in hospitals and care homes) and care homes, the sick
can have a hard time to get medical treatment. Only the other day a
conservative mayor said that disabled children should be left to die,
well actually it was a little worse than that, here's what was actually
said...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_obje...name_page.html

Hope that link wraps ok.

I'm afraid this sort of view is probably not rare, and very likely
applies to general medical healthcare regarding the elderly and the very
sick too.

I don't think you really want politicians calling the shots when it
comes to peoples lives. I can't put forward a solution I'm afraid, other
than to keep politicians well away from this sort of thing and of course
disaster management of any kind.

You are not a Capitain... you are selling T-shirts for a starship that does
not exist.... you support war in Iraq, and now you are removing freedom of
speech... and you dont respect of the will of the ancients...

WESTWORLD has blood on it's hands and enslaved it's colored brother
Nations... time has come to pay the price for those crimes commited against
all the people of the world, for their resources now more than 400 and 1
years... Mericans, Warhol Say's you are all doomed... and surley those who
will follow blindley those who will lead them to 1984 nightmare...

FOLLOW WARHOL WORDS AND YOU CAN SAVED.... and no need for a T-shirt... but a
word of love for your neighbore...

Nightbat does not have that word... I Have... and I can save you from your
doomed position where you all are stuck in ... And believe me there will be
no spaceship that shall come to pickup the socalled elekted t-shirts
worshippers.... yeah the T-shirt with a logo are against the law of
tomorrow...

Green Warhood... the Prince of the words, leading to a new world ... and to
a peacefull Tomorrow...

And Never Forget we all are stuck here till we build our own Spaceship or
Stargates... and this shall only happen if all the people of the world work
together... otherwise forget it... you are stuck here... and than you must
have technology to survive the longspace trip, to new distinations
lightyears away from Mother Earth.... there for, you need the cristals of
longlife, the elixir... and this secret is hidden by blackbeard... and only
his little sun has that Mayor key to worlds in outerpace...

People The choice is yours, to choose a new World Leader of tomorrow... A
sun of a true Capitain... or a T-shirt bizzness man..... who Adore's only to
the Golden Cow value's... Diamonds, Gold, silver...

I know that when my father died suddenly at 78, it seemed that there
were no heroic attempts to revive him or rush him to the hospital or
determine the actual cause of his death. He was merely pronounced dead
and that was that. And he was a completely healthy man. I got the
feeling that the attitude was that when you're over 70, that dying is
what your supposed to do! If he had been some 20 year old, there would
have been much more commotion about it, and probably coroners and
police showing up to investigate. Once you get old, don't expect
anyone to care.
