    Dear City Council:

    As a former Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commissioner for the City of Hermosa Beach, I continuously advise people, you must be your own emergency manager. Make a plan, and build a kit.

    City Emergency Management is for the City government to function in the event of an emergency. I tell people, you will be on your own, and you need to be prepared.

    Also, I am an advocate that emergency preparedness should include firearms. If you purchase a firearm, become proficient using it, or do not buy one. I recommend a shotgun over a pistol or rifle for protection in the event of an emergency.

    Remember May 31, 2020? The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors proclaimed the existence of a local emergency, and imposed a County-wide curfew. How prepared were you? Could you protect life and property?

    So the most recent emergency for the residents was not about a food and water supply, but it was about a supply of ammunition.

    Semper Vigilans!

    Matt McCool
