Technology – an app should have been created for the public to download for reporting purposes, complete with a GPS button for automatic location purposes.

Mandatory awareness – EVERY landscaping business should have been pulled in to have classes organized in English and Portuguese, the predominant languages of landscapers.

Nearly EVERY landscaper uses Marsh Folly to dispose of foliage waste – how hard is it to identify landscapers and issue them with a FIRE ANT card – a laminated illustration to bd carried in each truck in English and Portuguese?

Come on Bermuda Government! Start using technology to assist instead of 1st Gen solutions to what could become a natural disaster of epic proportion.
