pensive than their gasoline-powered counterparts. ECOLO subsequently sur-
passed its original goal of receiving at least 250 applications for new CNG
vehicles.
While not all approved applicants proceeded with a vehicle purchase,
the Vivaldi project managed to put over 160 CNG vehicles in circulation in
Bremen. Special signage on these vehicles will promote additional visibility
for the project.
The majority of new CNG vehicle owners are businesses rather than
private citizens, probably due to the higher allowance they were granted. Fu-
ture actions will target increased private sector participation as well as ex-
panding the vehicle range to include freighters and light trucks. Given its
success, ECOLO also underlined the need to continue and enhance the CNG
campaign.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Emergency response is a term for a series of appropriate actions and
precautions in the event of a disaster. No matter the type of catastrophe,
proper emergency response can protect family members and even save lives.
By having a full knowledge of the surroundings, keeping a supply of rescue
goods, and having a detailed plan with household members, emergency re-

One primary key to proper emergency response is being acquainted
with the potential for natural and man-made disasters in the surrounding area.
Check weather patterns and history to determine if the area is subject to wild-
fires, floods, mudslides, earthquakes, tidal waves or severe storms, tornadoes,

in the local area. Chemical or nuclear plants can both cause problems in the
event of leaks or spills.
Having determined the likely sources of a disaster, a good emergency
repair plan can now be made. Take pains to ensure that residences are
equipped with any necessary outbuildings that can provide protection during
a disaster, such as tornado shelters. Make every person in the household
aware of what to do during and immediately after an emergency occurs.
A first-aid kit is a vital part of any emergency response package. Ban-
dages, antiseptic formula, sterile gauze, and basic pain medication should all
be included. When possible, have back-up bottles of any chronically needed
medications in the first aid kit. Blankets, warm clothing, and a spare pair of
shoes can also be useful additions to a first-aid kit.
Food and clean water may become huge concerns if the aftermath of
the disaster wears on for a while. Having a supply of canned goods, a can-
