What We Could Have Done, If Only.....


  

Watching sporting events on television or in an arena, watching game or quiz shows, or at the cinema.  Do you ever feel like you can or at least you should be able to talk to or advise the participants?  Do you yell at the quarterback through the television and say things like,  "what are you doing? Throw the ball."  Watching a movie you may say, "don't open that door".  Here at GLP Security Solutions we experience the same emotions when we watch natural disasters unfold on television or the Internet. The major difference of course is that sporting events and game shows are entertainment. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and tornadoes are as real as life can get.  

We watched on television with a high level of frustration the rescue efforts of emergency technicians and volunteers attempting to find people trapped beneath a collapsed building demolished by an earthquake. For example the United Nations Stabilization Mission headquarters that was destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti in 2010.  



As CEO of GLP Security Solutions I felt it was my responsibility to offer assistance in any way could. So I contacted several organizations including the U.N., and Doctors Without Borders. "Nothing".  Well you might say, what could you have done? You can't go to these areas and pull rubble and debris off of people. No I cannot do that at this time.  But I can donate  GLP Security products such as a portable alarm system like the (SWPDAL) that volunteers and personnel can take with them at all times which could have been easily deployed in an emergency situation that would have alerted rescue workers as to where they were located. I could have offered free of charge, a product such as the (SWIA), a pocket sized motion sensor alarm that could alert emergency workers to sudden movements. You get what I'm trying to say here? 



Either One Or Both Would Be Ideal In Case of An Emergency Situation.

Listen, maybe it's the dreamer in me that has me believing that there is a solution to every problem.  Maybe I'm wasting valuable time trying to influence others that "Making A Difference" is very possible. Maybe I should do what the naysayers are telling me and give up.

I rest my case.  Thank you for visiting with us. Please contact me at any time.
