The destruction of Paradise, California in the Camp Fire. What caught my eye in the stories is how many times you see the line “….so all they had time to do was grab some family photos and flee with the clothes on their backs and nothing else.” That is sad. A go-bag could help them be more comfortable wherever they end up. I remember Daisy’s blog had an excellent article on how she and her daughters prepared to be ready to evacuate a wildfire.
I feel sad and mad that in the year 2018, county governments do not have specific plans for evacuating elderly people and handicapped people. It always seems to come down to one lone heroic man risking his life to go save an elderly or handicapped neighbor. Why on earth don’t the police and fire departments and national guard have a by-name list of people in the county who need help evacuating?
