But euqaly important is for people to organize themselves. I think the best chances for getting through something like this safely would be for communities to be organized. People could share responsibilities in a crisis, and they could know that they have a specific job to do should a crisis arise. I firmly believe that the survivalist

approach at the family or individual level is not the best route here. Communities should get together and prepare themselves. I still think you should stock up on things, but I also think that people need to reach out to each other and work together if they are to get through this.PetePete, once again, you have a very valid point. But let me ask you this, how many people do you know that you can talk about this and plan with that don't think you are overreacting? Most of our communities are not ready to face such an idea let alone the real thing. My own husband doesn't believe it will happen. And though I've shared the basic information with my neighbors, I don't believe they are doing anything to start preparations--How can we get communities invovled?Blessed Be "Life rarely goes as planned; I learned a long time ago that a positive attitude may not solve every problem ... but it will annoy enough people to make it worth while."
