Preparedness Tip #1: There is No Leadership
The situation in New Orleans and the Gulf coast is beyond comprehension, yet Bush's federal government is still operating in gimmicky PR mode. I realize that President Bush can't personally drive a bus into New Orleans and help the thousands of Americans who have been clinging to life on an interstate ramp for three days, but could these guys at least pretend to understand what is going on, right NOW?
Michael Chertoff, the empty suit director of homeland security, just held a press conference to let people know that September is National Preparedness Month. Their website will spoon out one "safety tip" per day for the entire month. Here's today's tip!
9/1 Tip Of The Day - Best Way Out:
Take a moment to imagine that there is an emergency, like a fire in your home, and you need to leave quickly. What are the best escape routes from your home? Find at least two ways out of each room. Now, write it down - you've got the beginning of a plan.
Got that? "Try to imagine that there is an emergency"...
