By the way does it really make sense to pay full time people to sit around and wait for a disaster?
What is the pay scale?
How many people will eventually be paid for sitting around waiting for this disaster.
Why won’t they be incorporated into Rescue Squads and Fire Departments , and Nurses aides, so they can actually do some good instead of sitting around.
Lots of union Fire/Rescue out there.
(Unlike MD, which is still mostly Volunteer).
