Good Morning all, Emergency Management is what I do for a living. In another thread, I answered a post from Rams with a Hazard and Risk analysis for his city. I would be happy to provide this to any of you if you are interested, in order to help you be better prepared. Just give me your city and state. This is what I was able to give Rams: Rams, there's no place that you can live that isn't vulnerable to some kind of natural disaster. For instance, your profile says you're in Hattiesburg, MS. Here is a link to a draft version of the Hazard Mitigation Plan for MEMA (Mississippi Emergency Management Agency) District 8, which includes Forest County and the city of Hattiesburg. http://www.hattiesburgms.com/wp-content/uploads/MEMA-D8-Draft-compressed-.pdfThese are the identified vulnerabilities for your area, per the plan: Drought Hailstorm Heatwave Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lightning Tornado Severe Thunderstorm Winter Storm and Freeze Dam and Levee Failure Erosion Flood Earthquake Expansive Soils Landslide Hazardous Materials Incidents Pipeline Incidents Meth Lab Incidents Wildfire Cyber Terrorism Ride Safe, Alien |

A couple days ago Cheryl was reading a recent article aloud that she'd found online, stating that the beetle kill timber on Monarch pass is nearing 90%.  Anyone who has been to the summit of Slumgullion pass recently has also witnessed the widespread devastation. It's a tinder box up here. I'd sure rather not see either of these forests go up in flames, but I'm afraid it's simply a matter of time... |

That's actually the first time that I've seen meth labs listed as a seperate hazard in a Hazard and Risk analysis. Usually they'd just be lumped in with fires or hazmat incidents. There must be a lot of them in Hattiesburg for them to warrant their own category.

Massachusetts is obviously very left politically. However, our governors tend to be Republican. It seems to work out pretty well. We've been lucky, the R's that have had the job have been decent moderates. PS...Thank you for the work..... |

I doubt my list is that extensive as in Mississppi, etc. Before I retired, one of my responsibilities was Meth Lab Clean Up. I've worked apartments, homes, motels and vehicles and no one ever knew they were there until the LEOs caught them. Don't fool yourself, it's very likely there's either a pot growing structure, home, warehouse or building and a Meth Lab within a few miles of or in your town. Rams |

Here you go. This plan is VERY comprehensive and extensive. They include a lot of data from past incidents also. For instance, I would never have guessed that you have had 4 state or federal disaster declarations for tropical storms. https://www.lhcaz.gov/docs/default-source/department-documents/hazardmitigationplan.pdf?sfvrsn=b86e2a7c_8For Kingman in Mohave County AZ, here are your hazards: Flooding / Flash Flooding Snow Storm Thunderstorm / High Wind Tropical Storm Wildfire Biological Dam Failure Extreme Heat Flooding HazMat Incidents Power/Utility Outage Severe Wind |

I like my home.
And not having to buy and sell and move, if I don't have to.
An hour out, the riding is very good.
Winters aren't bad.
And what you get in high population... every store and service under the sun is close-by.
