FEMA

fema drill
Post by ANdreasYesterday I went to a mock evacuation drill put on by Fema. My roll was to act as numerous individuals each time I past through the registration. the objective was to see if Femas database worked. We discovered many glitches while enjoying the fact that we got to make up numerous characters and stories. After seeing if the database system worked we were shiped to an old peoples home where we had to pretend to be at least over 65 and could choose to have some type of disability if we wanted to. Last but not least we practiced boarding an actual Amtrack train adn an actual Greyhound. The most important thing I learned was that in the case of an evacuation if you can not walk or climb stairs you can not easily escape or evacuate your city unless you have acess to a car. we were going to go back to day for a follow up and adress concerns we had while practicing the evactuation yesterday. Yet Fema cancelled at about 9:00 in the morning after we had already made our way to the location of the drill. This only added to my and many otheres concern about femas ability to plan or should I say lack there of. I do though have to give Fema credit for attemptingt to fix the mistakes in its system.-Andreas-
