Brother Phage, thanks for being honest. All debunkers should learn from that post. If you can't find a solid element to debunk an information presented, do not invent one. That is something to respect.

Until now, the most strong propositions against this NASA memo are :

1.- Silly coparisions of NASA with Walmart and Disney.
2.- Forced attempts to make look personal opinions as proofs against the info provided.

Please help me add a #3 with a solid proof that the memo is not unusual at least.

I think its just a preparedness plan for natural disasters. A lot of government offices are creating them now do to all the weather issues. I know the Corps of Engineers in Huntsville, AL was down for almost a week after that tornado. So I would think a lot of agencies are planning ahead. Just cause it came from NASA a person should not assume that its a hidden comet or an apocalyptic alien invasion. Most government agencies have an unholy number of safety documents and plans.

Thanks,

Yes, the Great Lakes was puzzling for me as well.

Agreed. There're good and selfish reasons behind these kinds of trainings...just like driver's safety at a trucking company, or severe weather preparedness for utility company employees.

The selfish being that they've entrusted alot of information with the employees, spent millions on security clearances and training, and have to take two steps back everytime they lose a vital member of a team and such.

It's fun to think of this in a science-fiction sort of way, but this is just reality folks. Uncle Sam's institutions like training...period. Military families are inherantly prepared. Why not the rest? In fact I'd argue that the rest, such as FBI, CIA, ATF, etc.. go thru similar training.

On the contrary, what they are, most likely doing, is ensuring that, in the event of a catastrophe, their employess aren't fleeing their jobs to make sure their families are safe. If you are at work, in a place the needs you during a crisis, and you are more concerned with your goldfish and your aunt edna, you won't be able to assist in averting any further issues. Thus, they set up a plan for the employees, and their families and, in the event of a catastrophe, they've got an employee who knows that aunt edna and the fish are heading towards the planned safe house or whatever.

Nail on the head

My husband received a similar "memo" and then a briefing a few weeks ago concerning family plans and the base's plan during the NLE. The problem was that sensitive positions will be bussed or flown to an undisclosed location in Mo to carry on with the work they were already doing and in so many words.. the civilian contractors and employees were on their own.. so they had a separate sort of prep info package handed out to those guys.

I dont think any of this is nefarious.. its just business as usual.. as 20+ years of dealing with the gov has shown me!

Totally agree. I am former military and currently work for a state agency. Disaster preparedness plans are a standard part of any govornment operation.

As an agency they are expected to have compassion for their employees and families.
This is a smoke and mirror trick to cover their asses should something happen. Insurance,
compensation loop-hole. "Hey, we told you to be prepared".

They have no obligation to give you any more information.

As an untrusting citizen you have done your part in taking a simple story:

NASA Internal memo: Family/Personal Preparedness Plan

and injected it with paranoia and fear.

good caatch starwise.............
hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The IRS has disaster instructions on their website too. The Red Cross has had them for a very long time. This isn't a conspiracy type of thing, this is just being smart.
I am not a skeptic type whatsoever, and I myself have a disaster plan and supplies.

So my experiences in the astronaut office, my experience as an active duty marine, always talked about the importance of family preparedness and to make sure that we have a viable family support program. And I have concerns that ours right now is not as good as it ought to be.

Why is it a conspiracy to be prepared? Is it that it suggests some sort of premonition or forward knowledge?

Now why, might I ask, are comparisons of NASA with Walmart and Disney silly?

Walmart and Disney are consumer corporations that have nothing to do with national and personal safety or potential disasters. Yet, they prepare.
NASA is a government agency with a distinct interest in potential national safety concerns. It's unreasonable to assume that they are not prepared, as well.

So, why is the comparison silly, again?

Perhaps because their offices and facilities are located in these regions.

Aside from New Mexico they all seem to be West Coast, East Coast, Gulf Coast and the Great Lakes.

And seeing how they addressing their employees (remember it's an internal memo), than it would make perfect sense that they would mention these regions.

Nasa Facilities & Centers

So why even send an "internal" memo? That doesn't make sense if they already have a website.

Why THIS?

and THIS?

and THIS?

And seriously, if you live near the Gulf Coast, don't you already know about hurricanes?

It's the horrible redundancy that disturbs me. Be prepared, ad nauseum.

Why are they trying to beat it to death?

We get it already, BE PREPARED.

It's probably because, if they didn't repeat "Be prepared" ad nauseum, then, when something happens and a whole bunch of people die, people will be screaming "Why didn't you warn us to be prepared!?"

Um. Because they want to look out for their employees?

The most important assets in the successful completion of NASA’s mission are our employees’ and their families. We are taking the steps to prepare our workforce, but it is your personal obligation to prepare yourself and your families for emergencies.

www.nasa.gov...

I must say, even though I do wear my Hat Of Doom (trademark Disney Corp.) much of the time, I would have to agree. As a guvment employee ( ) we get these types of emails all the time.
