Charlottes+Idea+For+Tornado+Saftey

=First idea: Prepare- A Tornado Simulation Where You Have To Find The Safe Place= I really liked Jason's idea of having a video game and I’m kind of adding onto that. I think a video game is a really good idea, a lot of people like video games, it would be a simulation-like scenario creator. It would be like a Game Truck kind of thing. Inside would be a chair and you would put on 3-D glasses and you would be strapped into the chair and there would be a scree and you would put on like a suit or something and it would start off with you being in a house and you would hear the tornado warnings and you would have to go to the safest place and get into a safe position; it would start off easy, like where you just have to go to the basement and you have plenty of time, and it is just you, and then each time you survive it would get harder, maybe the house is less sturdy, there isn’t a basement, you have to take care of more than just yourself and later on maybe you're not in a house, maybe your driving or something. Then, afterwards everyone would all gather together in the auditorium and then a speaker would go ever the results and talk about things like why should you go to the basement, why are interior rooms better, why shouldn’t you go under an overpass and why is a ditch safer than staying in your can and the signs that tornadoes are forming.

=Second Idea: Prepare and Stay Safe- A built-in radio, siren, advisor and tracking chip for homes= The machine that the director of EMA showed us was a really good idea, but immediately I began to think of improvements. Firstly, i think the speaker thing should be built into the wall, but there should be some parts you could take off. For example what you could do it is have it be like a box built into the wall, on the box there would be a screen that would show something like "Tornado in Range follow safety plan", there would also be a big light that flashes when there is a tornado in range. There would also be a radio thing that slides into the box and it runs on batteries and it stays turned off until there is a dangerous situation, then it turns on. The radio would say instructions and then once you are in the safe area there would be a button you could press that changed from instructions to the weather radio. Then inscribed on the box is "Supplies inside, take radio and go to..." and underneath that is a place where the architects, construction workers or safety box installers can write a designated tornado safety area like 'Basement" or "Bathroom Downstairs, get in bathtub and put large blanket over". Then, all these things would be written on the door of the box and you could pull the handle and inside there would be a box of supplies such as water bottles, band aides, baby wipes, cans of food, and batteries.

=Third Idea: Location Of People and Stay Safe-Tracking Bracelet That Sends Out Signal And Checks For Pulse= My last idea is a bracelet that you would put around your wrist and it would check for your pulse, while sending out a signal, but once the pulse is lost, it sends a different signal. This could help people looking throughout the rubble identify what people to find and pull out first. The bracelets signal would show up on a computer website (similar to like a track my phone kind of thing), red for no pulse and green for pulse.
