If a picture, it's said, is worth a thousand words, I would say that these beautiful pictures of 'love in action' are worth more than a million.; November 11, 2010 at 8:43 AM

We need disater preparation response- like the mandated fire evacuation drills in schools hospitals of developed countries. If we accept the science of green house deluge in the coming near future -then late and sustained Tomas like seasons are a precursor. In the interim we need to establish community drills (who what where).
These drills should be done during general holidays for about 1 hour- nationally. Insurance and banking sectors could offer incentives for participation.
Plans should be drawn up at the local community level with pertinent government at all levels guiding.
Evacuation routes and shelters clearly coded.
Finally, the registry or vaulting of personal papers valuables plays a powerful role in who evacuates -when?
