| Lessons Learned
This time around, the emergency services infrastructure was better planned and executed than the last fire of 2003. The outpour of public support and some of the big players in town, such as Qualcomm stadium (our football stadium), aided in shelters for those evacuated. People donated so much stuff that many places had to stop taking things for a while because the community support is amazing. All emergency services (Fire, Police, etc.) have been applauded in their efforts to BOTH protect and inform.
San Diego is such a multi cultural community and it has been nice to see everyone acting as one and unselfishly supporting and helping their fellow San Diegan. |
