Re: Local Recovery After Pandemic: HOW?
Thank you 4-ABBa to raise this relevant point.
2006/2007 is quite different than 1918 in many aspects.
First, the percentage of people now living in urban area is quite different than in 1918.
The regional suppliers, of food and services has drastically been reduced in the last 100 years.
The Social behaviors is not the same has 1918.
The personnal power of individuals in face of sosiety is quite different too, with the inventions of automatic and semi-automatic weapons.
Communications capacity has changed for the worst and the best.
Transportation is swifter and more diversified.
Informations on all kinds of subjects are more accesssible now.
The preparedness of our Nationals securities and Civil Protection has been quite enhanced compare to 1918.
The foresight of our Security forces and their logistically capacity is totally different than in the last century.
The legal framework of our securities is not the same as in 1918, they now have more latitude.
The communications capacities to our citizens has been extremelay upgraded in the last century.
The confidence of our citizens towards our admins has been reduced.
The threat of pandemic, in our days, makes us more conscious of the tasks to be done.
In 1918, the task was maijnly in the hands of locals and to some extent but modestly to our national organisation. (We where engaged in a World War then.
In face of all these changes, our admins and Natioanl Security Forces, have not kept sitting on their ass with all their capacity to anticipate and their capacity to react to such an event.
Our logistics, our capacity to precisely intervene, our acces to budgets, to intel, to swift intervention capacity just cant be compare to the ones we had in 1918.
But mostly, our intelligence to foresee, to evaluate myriads of scenarios just cant be compare to the ones we had in 1918.
The US has been divided into 10 regions, each regions shows some capacity and have most of the resources to cope with the needs of its intra-muros territory.
Those regions in US have been stated in FEMA.
As for Canada, you have the Maritimes Provinces, the Prairies and BC are under the juridiction of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Monted Police), that is 3 regions, altough BC has some US influences since it is the land bridge to Alaska. You have Qu?bec under the juridiction of the Suret? du Qu?bec, it is like netween a State Police Status amd a ""Naytional Organisation'' with its Intel and its own 'modus Operandi. (One more Region). You have Ontario OPP (Ontario Police) more as a State Police (another region. Then you have up-north Nunavuk a region under the juridiction of RCMP and First Nations Executive Forces,
Finally you have way up-Canada, in the Artic, a gray Zone, with some Canadian forces, US Forces and France Forces.
So for Northcom we have 17 regions. Most of them have all the resources to be autonomous and are able to trade strategic resources in an inter-regional mode.
As you can see, North America is becoming something different than what we have been used to see and understand from a State or Province of view.
Our Securities have work very hard to used optimally all the historical lay out and resources so that our North Continent can cope with this the best we can with all these various resources in our regions.
This is extremely positive, and I am sure that retrospectively we will be proud of this pre-emptiveness concern of our National Securities concern and solutions.
So, to get back to 4-ABBA statement, it should be stated how will be able to coordonnate our multi regional whelath and our inter-regional exchanges.
