where and how we build needs some serious long term planning & technical analysis & political consensusOriginally posted by Willi View Post
given that our leaders can't even decide on how to cooperate to solve current problems...expecting them to plan long term clearly is a purely academic exercise unfortunatelyTIVOLI: THE DESTRUCTION OF JAMAICA'S EVIL EMPIRE

...and why would we choose another seaport over somewhere less vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunami?"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Mobay ?
Kingston people soon need Visa to go to Mobay by time Godrey Dyer and Ed Bartlett done set di ting straight.. in fact border patrol probably gwine setup at the middle of Trewlawny and miggle of Lucea.. em might leave free access to NegrilComment

MoBay is apparently not quake proof. Perhaps Mandeville?Comment

The Diaspora should create an earthquake fund.. dem seem to be trying to 'save' Air Jamaica.. dem should put their energies to a more relevant cause...Comment

I don't know that MoBay is particularly susceptible to earthquakes or tsunamis.Originally posted by Karl View Post
Jamaica is an open, trading economy....our capital needs good air, sea & road connections.....outside of Kingston only MoBay offers that.

They had a big quake in 1957 that did sizable damage.
That link to the pdf file I gave makes or good reading. Mandeville seems the best bet, in terms of being disaster proof.Comment

The idea is to minimize losses or eliminate total loss. So it would be sensible to move as many sensitive material and the 'heart' of certain public and private sector entities out of harms way. There was no suggestion of moving seaportsOriginally posted by Don1 View Post
...or the making of a claim or even a suggestion that a presence should not be maintained in those low level and vulnerable locations of necessary institutions and facilities.
Airports at high elevations always present serious danger/problems with wind turbulence...so the experts will make the decision on where ...but control centers of our various record keeping entities, health services, military, police, disaster response departments, auxillary power supply, tele-communications, etc... can all be moved to the hills.
Cho man...the where, particularly when you consider our size, topography and huge deposits of limestone (think sink-hole problems....unstable base strata)...is for the experts...but 'run tuh di hills mi seh'!"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

Think about it...if we agree that we cannot afford to move the capital (apart from being unaffordable this is 100% unnecessary) then what is needed is redundancy... a workable backup.Originally posted by Willi View Post
It is very unlikely that both Kingston & MoBay would be destroyed by 1 event.... Kingston & May Pen or Mandeville conceivably could be because of proximity... ergo..MoBay is the superior choice on all levels.
Mandeville is a poor choice because it has zero air or sea access to the outside world and very poor road or rail access to the rest of Jamaica.
Centralizing in Mandeville is a bottleneck waiting to happen....the amount of expenditure ...just to provide proper water, housing, roads, airport etc ...would be stupendous.
Check out what a nonentity Brasilia has been in the center of Brazil as the capital...when moved there in the 1960sTIVOLI: THE DESTRUCTION OF JAMAICA'S EVIL EMPIRE

Why the fixation on Mobay and not Port Maria? Thanks. BTW it seems you don't believing in building from scratch, everything must be ready made. If you guys feel that KGN should not be your capital anymore (which is a ridiculous idea to me) then develop Port Maria until another natural disaster comes up (then you target another town).Comment
