The plan to have adequate facilities to survive 2 days of intense storm conditions. That's all. Does even this plan exist? Nobody is going to stop the surge, so shelters must be above 25' sea level. Just survival we're talking about. Rebuilding is a whole nother story. If you don't survive the storm, rebuilding is a mute point.
We are occupied by a people and their leaders who refuse to think. Maybe can't. Maybe that was part of the plan. No surprises here. We have gone backwards as a society of people for our entire lifetimes. Everyone had to get a bigger piece of the pie for themselves. Everyone else in the country got less. And, now here we are, backs against the wall, with none of the material or intellectual resources to make sense of anything coming our way. Almost fitting.
Yup, and put us on the map? What an honor, just prior to genocide. A deeper look into the man, is had by reading Las Casas, who chronicled said Columbo trip. Even good navigators can make evil people. But of course, all in historical context.
Hey John, For your info, I would defund the police in a massive way. But, if you are waiting to be called on by your country to provide educated, sensible commentary from an adult mind, it may be best to move on to something you do well, or at least better..
Tal, you are entirely right on this one. We are shackled by our thinking. Time to quit trying the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.
Many people here in The Bahamas were fined for breaking curfew. The reason; endangering others. And yet, here is a person who is pushing for an activity that has greater dangers to our society, economy, and future than anyone who broke curfew. Oh yeah, I know. Going to the water pump, selling coconut water, or taking a walk is much more dangerous to other Bahamians than is drilling into the seabed. I get it. We lack the ability to think reasonably. If this keeps up, we may see some social, economic and environmental problems arise in the near future. But, let's just continue listening to those who ........................want the very best for The Bahamas. Like Mr. Potter.

How many "shelters" in The Bahamas could withstand a Dorian?
The best plan is realizing the the government of The Bahamas has no real plan.

Would that change their condition and feed their children?
Some say yes.
