We are vulnerable. Those of us who make up T-CEP are prepared to deal with any emergency to the fullest extent of our human capability. I'm tired and would like to take a nap. Others who are at the E.O.C. are tired too - maybe more tired than I. Pat and Jack MacNeil slept on the floor there last night , fielding questions from about 25 scared Topangan's at 3 and 4 in the morning. For the 7 am rush hour they called in a few more volunteers and the day has gone on like that.
People do what they can do - as they have the time, the energy, the commitment.
Pat's back is out and this evening she went to her chiropractor for an adjustment and hopefully a little relief. Topanga needs her time, her energy and her commitment. We need everyone's time, energy and commitment to keep Topanga safe. If I am jumping around and not staying with a concise writing style, it is part of the nature of emergency response. Have a plan but do what needs to be done as it occurs and then go back to the plan.
