CITCO Water’s Post

https://lnkd.in/e4QTJju6 You work as a firefighter in your town. In the town, there is just one firetruck. One fateful afternoon, you receive a distress call from a man who is trapped inside a burning building. Before you sound the alarm to alert your fire team to set out to rescue this man, you receive another distress call. A mother and her four children are trapped in their burning home. Your calculations indicate that the distance between the man in the other burning building and the woman and her four children is around four hours by road. There is sufficient water in the tank to extinguish the fire at both locations. However, even with enough water, you would not be able to get to the other burning building on time. It is too far away. You immediately notify your supervisor, who happens to be a utilitarian. According to him, the right action to take is the action that causes the greatest good for the greatest number of people. As a result, he orders you to rescue the mother and her children. You point out to him that doing so would be unfair to the other man. You explain to your supervisor that the man's life is significant and worthy of consideration. Your supervisor looks at you closely and asks, "You want to save one person and let five people die?" You: No, sir. I mean, it is unfair that the man be ignored without giving him any thought just because he finds himself on the side of the minority. Supervisor: What do you recommend we do now? You: How about a weighted lottery? A weighted lottery ensures that everyone is fairly represented in the final choice.

I love my FEMA colleagues and what they do, but please, do not post flyers on your social media. Why? 1. No one is going to click, zoom up, and read what it says. They are going to read the headline and the caption of the photo. 2. Yep. It is not accessible. Even the ALT Text would be way to long for people to understand all that is being messaged here 2. Visually, this isn’t making me want to attend. Be creative with this and stick to three key points. Way too much info for anyone to follow. Just give me the Call to Action and the Who, What, When, Where, link to get more info or sign-up. Stepping of my soapbox now.
