Last week's community night program at the Museum brought about many questions and issues that need further discussion. We want to follow up w/ several smaller meetings further Down East.
Folks who attended Tues night are welcome and we ESPECIALLY NEED THOSE WHO COULD NOT ATTEND LAST WEEK. We need more voices from more ages, perspectives, communities! (Please see the newspaper story attached.)
We continue to seek out folks who were part of the immediate response and those who have helped w/ the storm recovery long-term. ALL ARE WELCOME. Please pass the word.
We are planning to have a small group discussion at DAVIS (Scout Building) on Monday night, September 30 and at ATLANTIC (Scout Hut) on Tuesday night, October 1. Both meetings will start at 7.
The format will be different and community members will have more opportunity to think/talk about all that Florence brought our way and how the recovery has slowly progressed. We will be recapping what we heard last week and the overall response to the discussion since then.
We very much want to talk more about communication, how people knew what was going on before, during and after the storm, what was reliable (and what wasn't) and what happened when tv, cell, internet and other technologies failed?
We will also talk about Dorian and its impact all around us and the serious question - were we ready?
And yes, there's another storm out there; what do we do if it comes this way?
This seems to be unending ...
Please let us know if you can attend, but if you can get there unannounced at the last minute, that's fine too! Bring your friends and neighbors; everyone is needed.
