Data Collection: Improve our collection of Data in all private and public sectors, including the allocation of “Social Security-Numbers” and “Government Bank Account” for every resident – for better analysis, decision making and distribution of any monetary benefits that may be applicable.

Entrepreneurship: Provide better and Increased Support to Local Entrepreneurships to ensure their Viability – with emphasis on diversification of our economy and job creation and (international) trade. An initiative that must include Public and Private Sector Financial Support and Incentives that make sense. It has to be more than just grants and loans at 0% financing.

Citizens and Business Contributions: Modernize our Tax and Social Insurance Premiums Collection Processes to be more transparent, improve compliance, better allocations for unemployment relief as a result of (natural and health) disasters. The introduction of a national social identification number is a must.

Government Budgets and Government Owned Companies: Reorganize our Government Budget to reflect higher provisions for Natural Disaster Management, with emphasis on cutting costs in areas of less importance, and generating of new income streams that reflect our new realities. Review the interrelationship partnering opportunities of Government Owned Companies and services in the interest of the country.

Education and Organization: Invest more in Education and Reorganize Our Population Centers of Influence to make them more effective during times of disasters and unforeseen economic hardships. Place our people in key positions because of their experience - in areas where they can make the best positive impact - to improve our nation.

Safety and Security and Reserves: A local territorial army is essential to support the police force and other emergency services. In addition a formal district management plan has to be adopted to reflect accessibility of resources and restrict movement when required for our own protection. The government should implement a national stock pile of food and other resources such as gasoline for times of extreme need to support and protect the people.  The reserve should include monetary savings that could only be used when a state of emergency / national disaster has been declared.”
