They take their homes for granted not even considering potential energy savings through simple construction techniques. IE, Here's a quiz. What is the most cost effective construction technique for saving energy? Answer: Weatherstripping. So simple yet folks don't seem to care enough to do a truly DIY project that can and will pay for itself. In short order. Too much to talk about on a half hour show. But that's the reason for the show altogether. A reason to 'get a clue'. Call in and ask how you can save on your utility bills by simple construction tips and tricks.

Do this. Call one of your friends on your cell phone and leave the phone on all day long. NO. Cost big bucks? No kidding. Ham radio costs a pittance compared to the minutes you would spend on a cell phone. And you only get to talk to one person. Ham radio is a conference call to potentially thousands of stations.

Well, part of my existing plan. Using ham  (amateur) radio, initiate a communications effort to start a Disaster Awareness Net Meeting. How does that work? Glad you asked. We use a national frequency, start asking ham radio operators (stations) if they would be interested in information sharing on a designated frequency at a weekly time. Get the word out in every corner of the Nation and have interested parties check in with their call sign. Once the check in list is large enough, start the Net Meeting, and BOOM; we have a communications network in which all walks of life may call in with tips and tricks for safety, mitigation, health and human services, clean-up and re-building, Insurance fraud, legal, etc, etc. Including 3rd party traffic that could possibly become ham radio operators. Simply talking to people. How's that? Listen in and hear the rest. 00:20:00Rebuilding America with Ken SwansonnoHam radio,Awareness,Amateur radio,mitigation,preparationHow's this for a Plan.

I had asked him if he would be interested in becoming listed as a  prospective participant in a National Disaster Awareness and Mitigation Net Meeting. He became excited over the idea and said he would go one better. He offered to make local contacts and produce a list of his own. Then bring all these stations together for the net meeting. ( Note: A ham net meeting is a dedicated time and frequency for a ham radio meeting of a group of individual operators )  As I podered this it occured to me. If ameteur radio operators all over the country would spread the word about this kind of resource, all manner of entities could join the meeting and bring something to the meeting that could be beneficial to the cause.  Maybe even life saving! First Responders, Officials, Dignitaries, Builders,  and other professionals with constructive information that can help people prepare.

Where do you think people go if their home is destroyed? What are the implications of displaacement? The harsh reality is that if you're ever displaced from your primary residence, and you don't have a secondary, you will find it very hard to cope with the kaos. Think the government is going to make it any easier on you? Better think again. You are on your own. So be aware, and get prepared.

Fire danger is year round. Not maintaining a woodstove or fireplace flu is a potential fire danger. An act of carelessness, like dumping fireplace or wood stove ashes into a synthetic dumpster can have serious consequences. I have been witness to both accounts, and have seen the damage. One instance I was resposible for saving a house from 'going up in smoke'. Thank God for preparedness. If you are prepared like I was, you may be able to save yours, or someone elses property.

Already the media is covering the event and giving their best play by play on location in several states. But what happens when the storm is over? The Building Industry comes in to re-build broken homes and businesses, infrastructure and dreams. But my experience tells me that when a storm is over, you won't hear too much about the rebuilding process. Why? Because journalists don't build houses. And most attempts to cover a devastated area falls short of the expected story simply because of building inexperience. In other words, they simply don't know how. Experienced builders hang their heads in sorrow for the lack of   information given on a typical television broadcast when coverage can be much more than the status quo. Not here! We have gone to devastated areas and told the story on camera (You Tube) telling the viewer the layout of the destruction, the floor plan of the homes involved, even to the identifying of household items lost. Building products and their protective or non-protective properties, defensible space.The wild land urban interface, codes, etc. Bottom line: When Sandy fulfills her fury and leaves a wake of destruction, it will be the builder who ends the story. For that is the only closure hurting families will understand.

Unlike local radio, there is no following unless you make one! The finish product on internet radio is the podcast. This, in my estimation is where the real value comes to play.  Especially for construction and general fire safety. Information the audience can capitolize on. With that being said, we will continue the home improvement venue, take calls as people have the need, and provide disaster awareness in a recorded forum where anyone can retreive the information and use it towards their home improvement need. We may have the Shingletown, CA Fire Safe Council call in with information on an upcoming event for which the pocast can be used for email forwarding.

One email to the Fire Safe Council in Sacramento that is forwarded to all Fire Safe Councils in CA which in turn is forwarded to all constituents of each individual FSC. What a network we can build for awareness, preparation and mitigation. How can you help? Let your friends on the social pages know you are going 'On The Air'. Email everyone you know.  Call in with questions or information. Tell everyone about an awesome resource you are proud to mention. Invite people to join their local Fire Safe Council. Search the blogs in my website at www.talkradiobuilder.com and find a topic for which to start a conversation. Then copy and paste the recorded podcast and send it to VIP's. Before we know it, we will have produced a statewide disaster awareness network. At the grass roots level.

Builders offer inside information to the mitigation of real property and can 'see' issues arising that corrected would give valuable time to First Responders. Focusing upon the Wildland Urban Interface, the builder, or correctly said, qualified remodeler, will upgrade the structures to class A requirements and give homeowners piece of mind. This is acheived through a carfully thought out plan for builders to be 'initiated' to the general public via the Fire Safe Councils for home consultations. The twist is that in order for the builder to be part of the plan (which offers ROI) he must become a member of your local Fire Safe Council. So listen in and see how it works. Also call in 646-652-4437 with your input.

Doesn't seem to matter where you live, incidents of some nature are bound to happen. So get prepared. How? Education. The best prevention doesn't come from a box. It comes from knowledge. It begins with an understanding of ones surroundings. For us in Northern CA, it's catastrophic wildfire. So begin to cultivate awareness. Become a culture of preparedness. Tune in to the best mitigation education resource available. Construction Talk Radio. You see, any form of mitigation to real property is the building industry. And who better to explain these principles, products and practices than a builder. This show will profile the educational resource, The 15th Edition Disaster Resource Guide, A Decade of Lessons.

Last Saturday, May 5th, 2012 the National Park Service, The Shasta County Fire Safe Council, the local Ham radio operators, and this Re-building America with Ken Swanson came together to distribute firewood to the public. Citizens bought a day permit for $20.00 and loaded their trucks and trailers in a grab & go feild day. There were more than 100 cord of seasoned knobcone pine cut and stacked in the parking lot and along the roadway to the Whiskeycreek Picnic area along the shores of Whiskeytown Lake just minutes west of Redding CA. This firewood was gathered by the Forest Service and was the remnant of the horiffic wildfire of 2008. Reduction of forest fuels and proper land management in regards to the brand new 'Cohesive Strategy' means there is a larger program going on here. The Feds realize the job is too large.
