Cold Bay
I flew both airplanes and helicopters out of Cold Bay in the mid 70's. They had a rule that you could never lock your door's in any house there (primarily government workers). The kids played in the streets in the housing area and bears frequently walked through the housing area. When a bear appeared the kids would go into the nearest house and close the door behind them. Barking dogs were their early warning system. Cheers, Tom
