Having also served in the Air Force and familiar with the service of Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger III, I am taking this opportunity to congratulate him on a very cavalier performance. Our company, Disaster Recovery Supply, provides supplies for emergency recovery situations, mainly weather related such as hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. We stand with the whole country in giving thanks to him and all of his crew.
I have been a creator of new products for most of my life and am now 72 years old. I live on social security and am looking for the right person or company to take over ideas for three (3) new and novel consumer product ideas that I have. I do not have the money to go up-front with a design team, so am looking for interested parties who would take a look at what I have for a possible “go-forward.” I am willing to accept a small percentage on the back end. The three products are as follows:
1 – Revolutionary Fishing Lure (for fresh and salt water)
2 – Manicuring Product (Cosmetics Industry)
3 – Packaging Product (for consumers)
I have prototypes available.The ideal situation would be finding a designer and manufacturer with an in-place distribution network already in place. Like a Cabella’s or Bass Pro Shop (for fishing lure) for example. If there is any interest out there, please email me at mintshape@netacc.net. I am in the Rochester, NY area.
The “Long Island Express” hurricane of September 21, 1938, also known as the “Great New England Hurricane”, was at that time the costliest natural disaster ever experienced in the United States. It was also one of the deadliest, taking at least 600 lives on Long Island and in New England, many from storm surge flooding but also from inland flooding of rivers and streams and from causes related to the high winds. Long Island was devastated. This was a Category 3 hurricane and residents only got a 1-½ day warning. In the 21st century, this hurricane remains the benchmark by which all other destructive storms in the northeastern United Sates are measured. Category 4 or 5 northern Atlantic Hurricanes have increased 56% over the last 35 years.Has New York City learned anything from the lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina? In hindsight, the 1938 Hurricane would only be a dress rehearsal should another Category 3 hit NYC today. It’s not a matter of “if,” but “when!” In 1938, Long Island had 750,000 residents and today there are over 3.5 million. And that’s just Long Island. Manhattan would become a water-logged prison. To exit Manhattan, there are 16 bridges, 4 tunnels, 3 railroad bridges. However, perhaps the best way to evacuate is by road as they may be the shortest route to high ground if you can get out of Manhattan. Disaster Recovery Supply can help even if you have to walk to high ground with 72-Hour Survival Kits.
If the worst happened and you did successfully evacuate to high ground, what would you have to come back to? And how long before a return? Would you be prepared for such an event? Complacency can be the enemy. Preparedness comes from anticipation. Act now! Disaster Recovery Supply is here to assist you with ready-made survival kits for many situations. Remember, It’s better to be 5 years early than 5 minutes too late!
