From another list, comes this announcement. Give him a try. Building for Survival This show will explore the variety and use of survival shelters, both for individuals and for communities. There are many approaches to what can serve to protect people after their homes are damaged or destroyed, and better yet, how to build structures that are unlikely to incur major damage in the first place when natural disasters strike. Our very special guest will be Iliona Outram Khalili, the Director of CalEarth in Hesperia, California. You can get access to the show at: TAO: Emergency Management Consulting Simply click on the logo for the show (the family facing the sunrise). We had a great show last week on the use of the free software, FULCRUM, as I did my best to create "old time radio drama", as a local official trying to survive the after affects of a tornado striking his home in Kearney, Kansas.
