Heh, heh, sorry, couldn’t resist!
Anyway, I was in fact puzzled that a small township local government would respond to your suggestions for community preparedness, which at that level should not have been difficult to achieve, with such a head in the sand attitude (giggle).
I live in hurricane country here in South Carolina where civil defense authorities recommend at least a week’s emergency provisions in each home, and two or more is not considered unreasonable following the Katrina event.
Here, of course, the unspoken suggestion is to be well armed. Our Castle Doctrine has been proven legally airtight, especially during hours of darkness.
