I was able to help out with the earthquake appeal - though it was just working the phones in an office ringing people and getting them to contribute. It was another Company's turn this weekend to help at the logistics centre. The Foundation Cadet meeting was kinda focussed to how to set up field camps, kitchens, showers and latrines. We've already done the stuff on camp kitchens and how to make things like boilers from old oil drums, but it was good to go through it again. The controlling crowds bit was kind of eerie and makes you wonder what London would be like if there was an earthquake here. Our leaders are really convinced that the Armed Forces are no longer large enough to take control if there was a major disaster in this country.
Back to boring old school today and reality, though I've got to go to the cottage this afternoon with mum and check what the builders are doing with the the electricity cabling and water pipes. They are going to be installing air heat exchangers soon. All the stale air from the cottage will be filtered and have the heat removed for recycling in the winter. In the summer the air will be cooled through heat exchangers. The Moles say that in an emergency the cottage will resist a gas attack and stuff like radioactive dust/biological agents. The underground water tank used as a heat store can double to hold 20,000 litres of water.
