What the local government would in fact do is to redistribute the funds collected in the form of taxes and redistribute them to the citizens by protecting them in case of emergencies. In case the endeavor fails, public pressure should be put on the authorities. b) The community

The community should be approached through the media and asked to donate small amounts of money for the creation of the emergency plan. It is necessary to make it easy for the populations to donate and also to ask them to donate small sums of money; 2 dollars with an SMS to a given number for instance. For larger donations, the community members could make a payment in a pre-established bank account. It is however important to strongly promote the fund raising campaign in order for it...

Additionally, it would be useful to expand the campaign outside of Miami so that tourists, emigrants and other individuals not living in Miami can also make small contributions. The rationale behind approaching the community is given by the large number of potential donors.
c) The corporations

Finally, the last source of funds would be constituted by corporations and multinationals, especially those operating in Miami. Their first motivation for contributing to the campaign would be given by the ability to deduct the donations from the taxes owed to the federal budget. The second motivation would be constituted by the ability to create positive advertising and improve the organizational image.
