Homeland Security has completed an analysis of emergengy preparedness of a sample of cities around the nation and Mandan, N.D. came in pretty much on the bottom. Mandan ND, population (year 2000): 16,718. Probably will get a supplemental appropriation of 2 Billion $. (Just a guess)
At first I was going to lagh, then I thought about it and it just isn't funny.
Mandan ND= Zip code: 58554
Median resident age: 35.8 years
Median household income: $38,182 (year 2000)
Median house value: $82,000 (year 2000)
* White Non-Hispanic (94.5%)
* American Indian (3.9%)
* Two or more races (1.3%)
* Hispanic (0.8%)
So, I'm actually interested. Have some pals in Nodak. Could you give more of a clue to an article?
$82,000 for an average HOUSE??? Damn, that's CHEAP! I think the low housing prices more than justify the lack of emergency preparedness.
Maybe the houses are so cheap, they figure the enemy could never financially justify bombing them.
Stumble It!
