Tailgaters and Evacuations
Today the college football season is starting and I couldn't be happier! I have been a fan of the sport for most of my life. This always seems to surprise people but it is the truth. I grew up in a football family and have spent many happy days and nights at various football fields cheering on my teams. These days I mostly stay home and watch the game from the comfort of my couch. On TV today there was a segment showing a group of excited tailgaters partying before the start of a game. As I watched them I realized that tailgaters are probably excellent at evacuation.
Seasoned tailgaters have the skill of compact packing down to an art form. They are adept at cooking and feeding large groups without the need of any power. Tailgaters always seem to be prepared for any sudden weather shifts with the necessary additional clothing, blankets, or rain gear. These are a group of people who have thoroughly considered what items will be most essential to them. They then drill week after week in the quick and efficient loading of their precious cargo. We can all learn some valuable evacuation skills by observing the tailgaters during this football season.
