It was right after we invaded Iraq. I watched the invasion on Fox News on two of those big screens, totally surrounded by cheering Republicans. It was totally surreal and dreadful.

There are a lot of little things (maybe not so little to you and I) that an emergency preparedness center can never have too much of. Generators (remember the ice storm 1991?). Emergency vehicles. Portable medical equipment. Safety items for eyes, hands, etc. Community training resources. Recertifications. Communications. It may look like Space Shuttle Command Center but I can assure you that, in the event of a major emergency or disaster, you're going to be pretty darned glad that place is there and has the resources it has. That room you showed is where all agencies that would be involved in a major event will work from. Utilities. Communications. Medical. Transportation. Military. Commerce. You name it, if it's part of the infrastructure, it's got a position there. I personally think Maggie Brooks is the biggest mistake Monroe County voters have ever made, but I actually have to support this request.
