I guess they learned something from hurricane Andrew…
It’s standard procedure, no committee needed.
I was born in Homestead, FL in 1959. In 1960, Huricane Donna came through. My dad, a B47 pilot and his squadron evacuated the aircraft to Georgia (I think). Mom said they left her, my brother, sister, and I (all kids 4 years and younger), and all the other families to deal with the storm. She would say sarcastically, “at least the aircraft were safe.”
