I reside in a Senior Citizen complex in Gardena. The majority of it residents are elderly averaging by my guess 74yrs up to 90yrs plus. Many have mobility issues or otherwise infirm also there are many that don’t speak English. I have concerns for many here in the event of a great emergency event. I recently set up an Emergency Preparedness Presentation through the American Red Cross, but don’t feel that this is adequate.

As a Second Lieutenant I served with BG and then MG Gravitt. As a Veteran, I am very pleased to know that we have a man whose commitment to the welfare of Soldiers and their families was so well demonstrated during his time in command of the 40th ID (Mech).

Comment on It’s Time to Toss the Three-Day Preparedness Message by lonna

Thanks John for reinforcing this important message. The scope of disasters we are at risk for require each of us to take personal responsibility for ourselves and our loved ones.

What you are saying is absolutely true. In Los Angeles County, we advise people to be ready to be on their own for at least a week, and longer in remote areas. The Northridge Quake taught us that impacted transit can severely delay our response. We worked out agreements with our military and even the Canadian Navy to support us during a disaster.
