Note to self

We may have lost Fallbrook/Escondito/San Diego/Los Angeles, California. The relative humidity in southern CA is lower than that of kiln-dried wood products. Fires ring the cities. http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_current appears overwhelmed.

Where are the people to go? Let no one stray less than a day away from a sufficient source of fresh and healthy water. Let no one suffer more than three days without food. Keep shielded from too much sunlight and in hygenic conditions to avoid disease.

What are the evacuation options for these areas? Can we get people out of state to unaffected areas? How do we safely secure the fire area while the storm still burns? Need I ask why the U.S. military remains concentrated in Iraq?

Should not all US major metropolitan areas, and maybe Mexican and Canadian cities too, be preparing large civic hostelry/sustainance installations in unused sports domes such as the Superdome and the Astrodome were used during and after the 2005 Hurricanes? From these, we must organize orderly distributions of the environmental refugees to piggyback with safe/stable volunteer households as quickly as possible for the duration of the emergency. Let's roll, people.
