Would we feel a little more secure living in community?

Last week I received an email from a friend:

“My first 2 week stint in Jakarta provided the new opportunity to experience 2 earthquakes (one of them 7.5 on the Richter and we were on the 10th floor - a bit scary and led me to consider the possibility of my death - that was interesting); ........ the week before I was in Bali, there was another earthquake on that island. And the day I was leaving to come back to Indonesia we had the dust storm in Sydney with my daughter waking me at 6.00am to ask if the world was ending!”

If such events happen while I am living in our ecovillage/community, I could debrief all this during ‘happy hour’ with my community and perhaps we could tap into the ‘wisdom of our group’ when ideas and solutions are required. Right now, I am pondering this alone and a little shaky in the office of my single family home, thinking that I must share this with Dave when he gets home from work.
