Minute Paper 2/28/08

In today's class, we focused more on what we could do in the future in the event of a natural disaster rather than pointing out the flaws in the system of past hurricanes experiences. Our class formed groups where we tried to come up with ideas in preventing chaos or how to prepare people when a natural disaster strikes. I liked our group's idea in being prepared for a disaster part of a lifestyle instead looking at it as a dramatic change. I think that by accepting the idea that a natural disaster could strike anytime is a much better than pretending that it's not possible because we are able to be fully prepared for it. I thought all of the groups had very creative ideas in spreading public awareness in the event of a natural disaster.
