No real heavy lifting to do and not TEOTWAWKI All of it is basic sound advice. _________________________ May set off to explore without any sense of direction or how to return.

BrianEagle Newbie Registered: 02/27/10 Posts: 27 Loc: Northern Texas	I think the most valuable words in the article were "Be Aware." So much effort is wasted because most people won't understand the specific emergencies/disaster in their local area. Perhaps there should have been some direction on risk assessment. Some of the risk is directly related to the seasons. It's about to be mid-March in Texas. That means thunderstorm/tornado watchfulness needs to be stepped up. _________________________ Formerly known as BrianTexas. I just couldn't remember my old password and had to create a new profile.

And another good observation made in the story for those reading it who don't think about preparation often.
