Its been a week since the horrible disaster that leveled the great city of CoveVille.  While the death toll was unclear  a few days ago, its fully clear today.  The Doth toll is 10,032 souls.  Searching the rubble for survivors has been a long and painful task.

With the Sim Nation National Guard having set up a type of refugee center for the sims in CoveVille, attention was turned towards reconstruction efforts.  The mayor knew that the SimNation Army Corp of Engineers were due in CoveVille in roughly two days.  A plan for reconstruction was needed.

A meeting of the cities council was put together in one of the army tents and discussions started.  

01 - The council for City Transportation argued that roads should be rebuilt first to better assist the movement of material for further reconstruction efforts.  

02 - The council for City Sanitation (Water & Trash) argued roads didn't need to be repaved... just gravel laid down so that material can still move and so that his garbage trucks can actually haul away all the rubble and clean up the city.  And for plumbing to be restored while the city is still in ruins so that reconstructed structures don't have to be resumed in order to get to the underground water works.. and to provide sims with much needed fresh water in their homes.

03 - The Council for power management argued that downed power lines need to be repaired and the power grid restored to avoid the rolling blackouts that could dampen reconstruction efforts.  

04 - The Council for the Labor Department argued that water mains and road networks to the industrial district needed to be restored first in order to get sims back to work and the industrial district back in working order before companies decided to shut down and move out.

The City Council argued about these four main proposals and it was quickly obvious that nobody was going to get anywhere so the meeting was closed for the night. 

Now, its up to the city legislature (You the reader) to voice on the CoveVille Clean up & Reconstruction.  What is first priority?

Very nice CJ, I missed it at first, but CSGdesign was nice enough to point to it.

As for the proposals, I definately opt for option 2. People die of thirst a lot quicker then from lack of anything else, and clean drinking water should also keep the possible outbreak of diseases in check.

 Well the SimNation National Guard has been providing showers, clean water, and laundry services at the refugee camp... weird must've missed that when I typed up the final draft...

But they're not lacking clean water to drink.... just clean water in their own homes.

I also opt for no. 2. Gravel should be good enough in this hard times. Time and money had to be spend on water and electricity supply.

Still think a steady water supply  for the people is most important. It will need electricity as well ofcourse, without electricity no waterpumps to keep pressure on the pipes, and no water treatment. Gravel roads should suffice for now....as for the bussinesses....their clients and workingforce are here, even if they would move out initially they would return eventually anyway... especially with the amount of work that needs to be done....
