As Ephemerisle grows, the need for more formal risk management will grow as well. As placid as the Sacramento River Delta is, there is risk of drowning, falling, getting run over by errant boats, and excessive drug/alcohol use.\
\
Therefore, I propose the creation of the \"shipwatch\". The shipwatch\'s duties would be the following:\
\
Mediate disputes\
Mediate b/n law enforcement and community\
Watch for drunk/drugged at risk of drowning\
Arrange for emergency evacuation; accompany injured to hospital\
Educate population about boating risk\
Watch for criminal/obnoxious/destructive behavior\
\
For those familiar with Burning Man, the \"shipwatch\" role is analogous to the \"ranger\" role at Burning Man. I suggest that there be at least two people on the shipwatch at all times, in four hour shifts. I\'ve created a tentative schedule here:\

Thoughts?
