1. Town disaster plan relies on T buses to evacuate disabled and elderly
2. MEMA website says that aid is coordinated thru MEMA EOC and MEMA Region offices. I dont think that the State Fire Mutual aid plan even mentions the MEMA region offices (which are only staffed weekdays anyhow).
3. Town disaster plan is 5 years old now.
4. Arlington relies on metro hazmat team, regional swat, state bomb squad, etc - response times can be hours. Cambridge has their own Hazmat team. Maybe they would agree to cover Arlington.
5. Unknown if there are emergency generators at all schools to serve as emergency shelters.
6. How can emergency alerts be sent out at night? Reverse 911 is too slow. Natl Weather Radio would be fast - but how many people have weather radios?
7. How many people have 2 weeks of food and water on hand?
