I especially like the idea of using Federal disaster funds. Cause this will be a disaster if this spreads.

I would suggest to the good people of Scranton that this would be a good time to put together some neighborhood militias for policing against violent crime. IF you stay away from trying to police the "private" property and relatively victimless crimes, and just try to guard against violence and crimes against personal property, you can somewhat cover for the cops. The FD and EMS though needs more support.
