[RC] Family Disaster Plan - Tom Sites

Having just returned from a short course on the above subject, put on not by a Dooms Day Group, but rather the Virginia Tech Co-Operative, it opened my eyes more than ever that we, as a Nation are not prepared for Disaster:  either Natural or Caused by Man.
 
Basic prepardedness of food, water, fuel and cash (if the banks go down for instance by an Internet crash, which the War Game senerio just played out by the CIA in Charlottesville this past summer by some computer gamers and experts played for 90 days of just what would happen if it DID go down for that long) for ouselves and our pets.  The recent examples of just what can happen if a Natural Disaster happens to a Region, imagine a Man Made Disaster on a National Scale, should be enough to alarm even those that are kin to Ostriches and keep their head in the sand until something bowls them over.  Anarchy will be on the streets and small towns of America.
 
My Mother always said..."A Hint to the Wise is Sufficient" and my hint would to be a good Boy Scout and "Be Prepared" with a Disaster Plan.  Knowing that i am even met w/ skepticism among some i know  i can only imagine what those that don't know me must think.  So be it.
