Last week we drove up and down Cadena and Hernandez Streets and counted the number of houses, businesses, and other buildings. We then used this information as a model in a computer program called Sim Town to build El Cenizo as it is. We are here to talk about the problems we found. The biggest problem we found is that El Cenizo is at risk for fire. This is because the houses are built very close together and are made of wood.
People smoke in their houses and keep flammable materials like paint and gas in their house.
El Cenizo is very hot and dry and it has no fire station. We need to educate people to not smoke in their houses and to keep dangerous materials in a safe place, not in their house. El Cenizo does not have enough jobs. As a community we need to work to bring businesses to El Cenizo. We would like your suggestions.
