VL Freeman asks:

What is the Minneapolis plan to help those that are not fortunate enough to buy the necessary things needed for "just in case"? I am concerned for the homeless, and those of lower income, that cannot afford to buy some of the basic things needed to provide themselves and families protection.

I was wondering about vulnerable people responding to the war and terrorism news this week, too. When duct tape and plastic sheets got tossed in the spin cycle, I thought maybe it'd be a good thing to have neighborhood organizations compile a list of volunteers on whom neighbors with limited resources could call in the event of an emergency. (Add to the list the elderly who probably have enough to deal with just getting the sidewalks shoveled right now.) More than duct tape, some may just need the reassurance of knowing someone is around to help with whatever might come our way.
