What do you do if everyone is calling 911? Wait your turn, or be your own rescue party? The key is on your own. Don't expect immediate help until things get organized, and that could be quite a while, as witness Florida. Here is a book that tells why and how to cope with floods, earthquakes, high winds, civil disorders and riots, even evacuation. Is your office equipped with necessities in case of a disaster? City markets usually stock 2-1/2 day's food. What do they do if the power fails? How fast will the markets empty in a panic? Since suburbanites usually spend a part of their day in the city, their problems are dealt with, too. How about coping with disasters while commuting? Ever consider that? We did. How do you deal with emergency supplies if everything is going down the drain in a flood? There are several procedures common to most emergency situations and you should be prepared. Ever hear of an Emergency Pack? What should yours contain and where should it be kept? There should be an emergency pack in the car, too. What good is Barter in the city? What good is a credit card if the bank is filled with water, or it's a pile of rubble? ATM's won't work if the computer fails, or the telephone is disconnected, or there's no power, you better consider Barter, if you need food or clothing for your family. You can't eat a dollar bill. Waiting for Y2K to arrive? Loss of power in the dead of winter, bank shutdowns, communication blackouts, and transportation halts are all predicted and any one of them could be a disaster. Am I a panic generator? No, I believe in calmly considering the worst case and planning accordingly. Anything less is a blessing. All of Ritchie's books are appropriate for this kind of a disaster, the only difference is that your home may not be demolished. What you need is in these books.
