There are two big drivers for opposition to the Shea project in Anaheim Hills: Both are evacuation related. One is the collective memory of fire
disasters in the past, and the other is the lack of belief in the efficacy of Know Your Way.
Nothing can be done about the first, but the second can be addressed by better communication. Currently, I assume in the interests of simplicity,
the plan has been boiled down to a directive about what direction to drive. Having a plan is necessary, but never explaining it or defending it is a
bad look. It leaves people to use their imagination and develop (hopefully invalid) assumptions.
I suggest having those in charge of implementing the plan, explain to the residents how it will work and get feedback on the assumptions they are
using. Ideally this is in some face to face community event, but should also be back by some documentation. No plan is going to be perfect in the
face of a relatively unpredictable threat, the people of good faith at least would sleep better knowing that the plan actually exists and has been
thought through (including the cars introduced by the new development).
