Have You Completed The Fire District Survey?

This really should be mandatory. I brought this up right after Ian because of all the BS that we were not allowed on the island until the FEDs and Sheriff had “examined” each home stating they were looking for bodies. I wrote to All the council members and suggested that we have to fill out a form before the storm and then after stating if we were leaving, where were we going, contact info, who was going and then immediately after we would check in. I don’t know how many people are aware that they were breaking windows or doors to get into our homes. One friend had a security camera still running with backup batteries and it showed the FEDs in full tactical gear in the road in front of his home with guns. Then they would (as a group) break a window or a door and get in. He could see sand/muck foot steps all through his home when he got home. His door was broken open and then it allowed thieves to help themselves after. This is why many people had just one broken window or door that then the homeowner had to pay for. Having a website for everyone to check in on would be the most logical thing to do and prevent them breaking in and damaging windows, etc. How many hurricanes have come and gone and now we have this “survey” which still leaves off a lot of info. Names of who will be leaving (or staying), contact number and where are they going should be mandatory.
The authorities still have to go house to house to search for survivors and/or victims. Mandatory rules i.e. evacuation orders are ignored all the time.
There is no mandatory rule that says they have to break into the houses. If there is please post this info because I have been in many hurricanes including Katrina and they were not going door to door bashing in windows and breaking doors down. If a cadaver dog signaled then they would break doors down but not just every home without any reason to do that.
Thanks for the reminder and the link.
