Is anyone already making plans to relocate?

I agree with this. Best to make safe the mind and the soul through hard work towards objective thinking and truth instead of lies. We don't really know what the future holds, yet we can know here and now how to make our thoughts and actions better than they have been in the past.
Laura said:Well, obviously, from the remarks the Cs made about ice ages and Atlantis (it's quoted in another thread but I don't remember which one), it seems that life and civilization does not have to end during ice ages. The problem is the period of transition and, of course, not being in a place that is going to be covered by a mile of ice.
Our thinking is that we need to continue to build the FOTCM organization so that it can do something for its members in a significant way. I obviously don't want to go into too much detail here, but suffice it to say that we need to generate a lot of funding rather quickly to do what we have in mind for the benefit of all our members, and it seems that it is only an organization that can do some of the things we have in mind. For example, as a well-funded employer of very specifically qualified individuals (i.e., must be members to fill the position), FOTCM can arrange for residency permits, etc. There are angles, and we are thinking about them.
For now, what needs to be done is to 1) get EE out there to ameliorate the suffering on the planet which can possibly change the vector of the transition; 2) teach EE and form EE groups from which FOTCM membership will grow; 3) Help us raise funds by direct contributions, increasing our membership, helping to promote EE so that everybody who can afford it will buy the DVDs.

I've thought about relocation (being in Wisconsin, US), but given my situation, I don't see it as feasible right now.
One of my goals for this year is to come up with a plan for temporary relocation. Basically a quick list of items to pack up in the trailer so I can move in a hurry if necessary. This will require a small investment, but I think it might be worth in given the situation the world is headed towards.
There's no guarantee that travel will be feasible when the poo hits the fan, so all of this may be for naught.

I think if anyone was planning on relocating, the idea would be to do it before the proverbial poo hits the proverbial fan. After all, what's the point in being forewarned if you wait in line with the rest of the sheeple?
SAO said:Also, if you have a home heating system that is water-based and heated by gas, if your house loses power you will most likely lose heat because the thermostat is electric, and it provides the spark to light the gas. So be sure you know how to manually light the gas in the water heater, or set up a battery that would run the thermostat when electricity goes out. All you need is a spark to light it (those long gas stove hand-lighters could do it) and then know how to shut off the gas manually as well when you want to turn it off.
My parents just learned this the hard way when this recent crazy snow storm knocked out power in many towns in New England for a few days, and their house was without heat for for the days they didn't have power (which only came back on yesterday). It seems absurd that if your heat comes from hot water heated by gas that you would still depend on electricity to get your heat. So make sure you know the manual workaround and stay warm this winter!
