Michael's Survival Map



For my survival project I decided to create a map of all of the places that I would consider important if there was an emergency in Geneva. If there was some kind of natural disaster looming on the horizon, if I had time, I would make a stop at any one of the stores that I selected to stock up on any food, tools, clothing, fuel, or any other resources that I would deem necessary for the particular situation. In terms of where I would exactly stay would depend on what situation I would be presented with. If it was some kind of flooding I would most likely just stay in my room in deCordova, which is on fairly elevated ground and I'm on the fourth floor as well. If there was some kind of wind storm or tornado on the horizon, I would move to a building that is sturdy in structure that also has a basement. The library and the two gymnasiums would seem to be viable options.If it were a situation were I needed to find a more personal spot, I would choose underneath the bridge of 5&20 which would keep me dry, and I would have close access fresh water which I could use for fishing. The same can be said for the small tunnel that is also further down the lake. Lastly, the park would also have similar advantages, plus there are shelters that I could use as well. If I were to properly prepare for any kind of these crises, I believe I could survive in the short run, but I believe I would have to stay on the move and stay in any of these place for too long. Ultimately I would want to head home to Binghamton to check and see if my family was still alright.
