This is a question for 1st responders who have worked in SAR after tornadoes, hurricanes and if any from Japan or Indonesia after an earthquake and mainly a tsunami.
When you have found bodies can you tell me in a few words what pieces of clothing or maybe jewelry is still on them? Which piece is the one mostly missing or still on or the average as YOU see it.
My dad made it a point that as a boy growing up that I always have my wallet on me in case I needed to prove I was who I was or to tell someone who I was if not able to.
I also made it a habit when I flew to write my social security number on my chest in ink in case my wallet got lost in case of that accident. My wedding ring has my last name inscribed in it as does my dentures.
Being identified after an earth shattering event should be important to us all and being close to Joplin, Mo. I've heard the stories of the problem of identifying family members and friends.
It's gotten to where our children think that a stupid cell phone is all they need in case of an emergency and they are about as wrong as they can be! Cell phones rely on electricity to function. After an event like Japan, Joplin, Katrina and so on where is the electricity at that those toys need to operate? Not in the power grid that's laying on the ground!
Yes, the new style of clothing of gym shorts and sports clothing is just fine but these people calling themselves fashion designers forget that pockets are needed to carry that cell or wallet in! Listen up! A pocket hidden on the inside will work! make it so! Save a life or keep a mother from grief as she looks for her child!
Please feed my curiosity as this problem in Joplin of not being able to identify people is bothering me needlessly as waiting for a DNA test can drive a grieving mother or father or children crazy waiting on answers!
