Pyrates Deck
THAT TIME OF YEAR
Posted by: EmmyRose, Saat: 01:40 PM GMT Tarih: 27 Mayıs 2009 +0


Tropics are waking up

Doesn't hurt to put this back up
so you will have a back up
in case ya get your back up....

Galveston now has a new system
of registration for special needs
SNet - its easy to register
do it.







FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL...


HOWEVER......
As in the past this little pyrates deck
is dedicated to PROTECTING those with
special needs during cane season.
I made a promise and a promise I keep.

Please dont be lulled into this thinking:
We won't get hit for another 25 years
The NHC can't even predict that.
Its lazy thinking.And Mother Nature
will think for you.

I saw firsthand at the George R. Brown
the last minute panic by our city
to open a shelter to protect our
most vulnerable.

I heard stories of shelters
turning away people with special needs


Over and over again I heard:
, "I didnt know where
to go" or "I didn't think it would
be this bad." or "No one told me...."

Thats being a victim.

Because YOU have a disability and
NEED sheltering you have the RIGHT
to DEMAND protection.

Call the local emergency management
and ASK: What plans do you have?

Call your disability organization
and ASK: Did you get information from
the local emergency management on where
we go? How we register?

MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE
MAKE YOURSELF EDUCATED.

Dont wait for the city to come save ya
they won't. SAVE YOURSELF OR SOMEONE
YOU KNOW WHO NEEDS TO SHELTER.


SO.... here we are again. How many times
have I said:

If you are a person with a disability
and need to shelter please register
TODAY....

Well TODAY is HERE.

PLEASE dont be a victim.
Because then you can become a statistic

Because you are person with disability
doesn't mean
you don't have a voice,
OR DONT HAVE THE RIGHT
to ask,
DEMAND,
register
and BE SAFE.


Pass this along - and keep passing
this along. FROM COAST TO COAST
YOU NEED TO BE ONE VOICED

I will give all information now
on the deck and then it will be
linked on this side of this blog.

I will always update and inform
YOU will always be vigilant.

Please also visit other blogs
that educate during cane season:

Patrap - Hurricane Preparedness
Sandcrab - Emergency Management Information
Vortfix - Severe Weather


CALL AND REGISTER
CALL AND EDUCATE YOURSELF
AND OTHERS


FROM KEHCHARLESTON:


) Medications and Medical Supplies and Equipment, must be part of your hurricane planning - and where possible on your hurricane shelf. This means, during hurricane season, you keep your oxygen delivery systems topped off. (Helps if you know where you plan to evacuate. You can have the phone numbers of physicians, medical suppliers etc. ready. And consider having your personal physician recommend a physician for the place you will bug out. (Communication between physicians ahead of time, would save time later if you need prescriptions etc.)

2) Evacuating the frail or those with medical equipment needs, is slow work - and may be necessary on a voluntary basis. Plan well and early. Besides the fact that the evacuation itself might take a longer time. - keep in mind that there are good reasons for you to get a move on it when an voluntary evacuation is called (if not before). An advancing weather system can have an effect on you physically, increasing your health, symptoms. (Drop in barometric pressure, increased humidity etc). Even during a tropical storm/low level hurricane - a trip to the emergency room could be difficult/impossible.

Goood Morning........... read yesterday's morning's post.....ROTFL ...was that me????????

clearly a case of pre-dentist anxiety and being tied to the porch tooooooooooo long. I tend to get a little whacked when I'm not getting enough running mileage.......

A treasure of BLUE arrived -- carefully wrapped & nested in a box.... now nestled safely in a wooden bowl....it's my direct connection to the sister of Sarasota Bay.......... The lovely Bay of Galveston............. touch it and I am there....... simply magical.

Blue is my favorite color!
