What I mean by this solution is to allow for charter buses or City operated buses to be allocated to affected communities and allow for vulnerable persons (registered) to be picked up when no immediate family or when living outside of a senior retirement home. During a crisis, these vulnerable persons are typically the most affected by the inability to evacuate so, a dedicated bus service would play a huge role in avoiding loss of life. I would still push for allocated buses to transport vulnerable persons from retirement homes but also allow for private residence pickups as well. Thoughts ?
