inquiring reporter (NORTH SHORE DEMOGRAPHICS DO you know what t> do in the event of a major earth- quake? More importantly, can you and your family sur- vive on your own for three days should such a disaster occur? The water, first aid kit, transistor radio, flash- light and rations are all stored in the most structurally safe part of vour home, right! Well, not if you're like most of us, so don’t feel so bad. But you can’t count on disaster to happen when its most convenient. What if your children are in school and the adults at work? The toads are likely blocked, or limited to response teams. Wouldn't you rest more comfortably trapped in your basement knowing that schools have planned for just such an emergency: supplies stored and disaster drills practised as regularly as fire drills. About 10% of the North Shore schools have taken some of these steps. There’s a volunteer committee that is getting burnt out and the North and West Vancouver Emergency Program would like the two school boards to find $5,000 cach to fund a part-time coordinator. North Vancouver School Board chair Pat Heal is not opposed, but suggests cuts would be made elsewhere to find the money.
