Re: OK...
Since we've had few natural disasters, in how many decades that they would actually be useful/needed, sounds more like PR than much else.
This state is grossly inadequate in self-sustaining civil defense. We should have had a super ferry long ago for such emergencies with an infrastructure that compliments it on all islands. Plenty good paying jobs with that set up that we've missed out on.
Instead we threw away $50 mil. (minimum) for a super ferry bust, and are still sitting ducks. We've just been super lucky we've not been seriously tested, minus a coupla hurricanes. When 'the big one' finally wipes us out, then all these decades of inaction will be scrutinized unfavorably. Same for our roads. When it really hits the fan, it will be massive and crushing kaos.
