CONSIDER POST HURRICANE SIGNS FOR ALL DAVIE STRUCTURES

In the aftermath of a hurricane or other disaster, electric power may not be an option.  Access to the internet could be deprived for days.  Registering on the FEMA website or sending e-mail are not likely to be possible except in certain pockets of the community which might have power. 

An immediate and simple solution is needed.  Each Davie structure should be equipped with a green or red sign...to be posted in plain view on the exterior of the building in the aftermath of an event by those inside.  "Red" means help is needed immediately.  "Green" means no urgent attention is required.  Town staff, volunteers and First Responders touring the affected areas to survey damage and immediate needs would have a simple yet effective means of identifying problems, without waiting for power to return.  In some instances, expedited responses may result from this simple and inexpensive alert system.
