Something unexpected: bills that could have penalized convicted sex offenders seeking shelter in an emergency evacuation — from an approaching hurricane, for instance — could get a bit less punitive, thanks to a proposed tweak by Gov. Ralph Northam. Full Article

People who propose bullshit like this deserve anal cancer in the worst way (isn’t that what Book has?)
Not only does stuff like this literally would leave people out in the middle of a disaster, it puts completely unreasonable weight on the shoulders of people running the shelter to comply with the law so that they don’t get in trouble.
So she quit because it was too cruel but then is okay with it because it made her look good.
“She felt the emergency shelter bills, which she argued could leave offenders out in the storm in a disaster, were so cruel that she decided to quit her advocacy as a lost cause.
“This was not the ending I had expected for my advocacy,” she said. “but 2019 turns out to be my most successful so I’m OK with that.”
I’m a prepper, minimalist and survivalist. I study bushcraft and am studying Amature radio in prep to get my license. I’m building a van conversion for full time living. It has a high top, i can stand up in it. It will be converted to 4×4 and lifted. It will have fog lights, push bar, winch, solar, battery bank and enough supplies to last a few weeks. I’ve collected and will be installing 2-meter ham, CB, police/fire/ems scanner with all-hazards radio and SAME alerts. Cellular boosters for both T-Mobile and Verizon networks so I can always get data even in more rural areas.
Everyone needs to understand they cannot rely on anyone else for help during hard times, especially the same resources afford to others. This is especially true as a registered citizen. Even if you don’t drive, it’s worth owning a car and having your license. Keeping the vehicle with a full tank of fuel and emergency supplies and a smartphone. Subscribe to local emergency alerts. If you live near the cost, subscribe to tsunami alerts through official sources.
Prepare for the worst but hope you never need it. In my case, I am transitioning to van dwelling as a full time lifestyle. My van is an old school van no fancy computers to foul up, and the engine can be worked on in the rain, because it’s accessible fully from the inside.
If you cannot drive, consider other options like a ready-to-go bag and a phone tree and purposefully living close to access to resources like bus, train, taxis. Keep some money in the bank and some in cash for emergencies only. My grandma always told me to keep $100 bill tucked away always close by. It’s saved her hide a few times in her life.
I encourage everyone else to consider following my example. The next time there is a local fire or flood, i can just turn the key and go.
