Sorry I'm late to the party. I am defending the Dayton Defender. No, DP&L has not done a great job and they where off from thier first estimates, but have you, Gary, been correct 100% of the time. DP&L's public relations needs some help. I wonder why they couldn't have notified the public about where they would be the next day. Certainly, on monday they would have been able to know if they were working in the South Park area on tuesday. But then again from reports able how poeple have been reacting I can understand DP&L being worried worker safety. <br> As for insurance and hospitals. No ER can turn you away because you don't have insurance. Not sure if that is state law or federal law, but it is law. Hospitals also have social workers to work with on paying bill. <br> The Dayton Defender, 1290, and channel 7 have done a wonderfull job in covering the Ike and the aftermath. They took calls from listeners, allowed city leaders on (which I did hear some sherrifs on), and let people know about churchs, fire houses, other civic organizations that were helping. Gary, how were you helping? <br> If there is a wide spread outage in the winter I hope people help each other more and NOT depended on a corperate business to help them. Ever see the show "Jericho". It was on CBS (channel 7), about a nuclear attack on the US. People had to help each other and protect each other from evil people. I think a lot of people in Dayton would have problems. Lord knows I hope I am wrong. No, I do not have much faith in people in general. I do believe that people can help themselves and I have seen alot of it. Instead of tearing down 1290 and DP&L why don't you do something to help. <br> <br> Defender, I know you have talked with a DP&L spokesman and they said that people could help by staying away from downed powerlines and to call DP&L. Could neighborhood groups be formed to communicate with DP&L in such an emergency, sort of like a neighborhood watch group.
