Responding To Disaster On the Eastern Shore

The experts say that the Delmarva Peninsula is one of the top three places in the United State that if a natural disaster were to hit, it would reap havoc on individuals that live on the shore. The reasons for this are several fold, we live on a peninsula (surrounded by water on three sides) ; in certain areas on the shore we are below sea level; evacuation would be a hardship because most of us would have to evacuate by going over a bridge. Can you imagine thousands of people trying to leave the shore all at once.

....and what about folks without transportatation? One day we will be hit with a disaster. Let's start talking about this possibility and how we will address it when it happens. That day may come before this year ends.
