Walking out of one year and into the next, Alex wraps up some of his latest thoughts on the challenges we face and the way out. Renee Kimball joined Alex in the first 20 minutes to showcase the items she carries in her emergency preparedness backpack. The show concludes with a special focus on working together in a crisis and that includes real grassroots community policing to keep our neighborhoods safe in the event of a full blown economic meltdown.
