Smith said his major concerns deal with problems that will occur if the electricity goes out. That could affect the delivery of water. Our water well doesn't have the foggiest idea what day it is as long as there is electricity. I have spoke with some residents that have started stocking groceries and putting away bottles of water. We are going to try to make sure we can continue to operate.
Communication is a big factor.
Fire and EMS have to be looked at. Smith said Sunray is looking at getting a backup generator to help with pumping water, just in case. He also feels small communities like Sunray won't have as many problems as large towns. If the bank has problems, it could affect people. Most of our city operations are not automated.
