X-map
X-MAP= Xcolony Mutual Assistance Program
This is just an idea I have been bouncing around for awhile in my head. There are many 'pockets' of Xcolonists all over the US. Wouldn't it be nice for folks to band together during disasters and help each other out???
Kinda basing this on Hurricane Hugo which hit the Charleston to Charlotte area back in 1989. Say a hurricane comes into to shore a tears a wide path of destruction through the Carolinas??? After assessing the damage in your area and taking care of your immediate needs a damage report is submitted to the forum (also might be a good idea to have a calling list or get Xcom up and running) Those Xcolonists that have the ability to help out their fellow Xcolonists organize a work party and go to the area and help out the effected member. I understand that folks have to work during these events, but may be able to help out on a weekend or something. This is not a 'first responder concept' but a relief effort after the fact...
Things could be as simple as removing debris from the area, simple repairs to 'get the house in the dry', remove trees blocking the driveway/private road, bringing in supplies of gasoline/food/ice/building materials (local laws apply, think that it is illegal to transport gas across state lines) when there is a SIGNIFICANT need for this, etc.
This is NOT a get outta jail free thing... one should prep for these things, we are talking mainly about supplying labor for emergency conditions... but also sometimes bad things happen to people who prep.
Is this an idea that we can do??? Is this an idea that we WANT to do???
Just throwing out an idea...
Either way, you should try and meet your local Xcolonists and form your own relationships with them :)
