Consumer Reports has issued its first ratings for fallout shelters and evacuation shuttles during the Gulf escalation. The dissolved National Schedule Coordination Board still pushed these amenities as essential, even as their departure rules stayed murky. One shelter stocked 47,000 pages of occupancy clarifications and earned three stars, the highest mark yet.
Reviewers attempting to board shuttles labeled WHEN FULL often waited through multiple loads. One critic, after two full departures and a damp muffin, said the parking lot felt more like a standoff than a station.
Local HOA president Edith Fiddlesticks said preparing for the end of days should not resemble missing the last bus home. The ratings highlight how personal delays now compete with wider alerts for attention.
