I’m always on the look out for good firefighting websites and I’m glad I ran across yours. Keep up the good posts!

The more people who know the rough parameters of an emergency plan long before they need to put it in action, the more prepared they will be to follow the appropriate instructions in the case of an emergency.

There should also be a clear division of responsibility between Gally admin and the individual students, staff, faculty, etc. For example, how many of us already have sitting in our homes and offices, RIGHT THIS MINUTE, a 3 to 7 day supply of bottled water and NON-PERISHABLE foods? For many of us (including me, alas), the answer is no. Yes, sooner or later, there should be some kind of emergency relief. But it can take DAYS for even the fastest “first responders” to reach everyone who needs help. And when people don’t take at least minimal responsibility for themselves, then that puts even more stress on the disaster relief system and makes it that much harder for them to reach the people who need their help the most.

Maybe some outreach/education within the community about what precautions EVERYONE should take as a matter of routine (bottled water, food, first aid kit and other basics, enough to last a few days)
