This debate has very little to do with the OP, (Maybe a new thread is in order?) and I hate the idea of helping us get sidetracked further, but it does illustrate an important point:

"America's safest city by a mile"? ummm... 246th out of 261 isn't first place...

I was a History major, not Math, so maybe I'm missing something, but it illustrates Bing's suggestion nicely: do your homework before you move to, work in or travel through an area, and before you determine your priorities for edc, ghb, bob, etc. (You just might want to find a source of info that can do it's basic math right before you put your faith in it.)

When we first moved into the AO we now live in, the headlines and stats screamed at us. Had we blindly listened to them, I'd be edc'ing a full on hazmat suit, KI pills, radiation monitor and a shovel for digging a hasty bunker. I wish I had spent as much time researching the stats about water main failures as I did nuclear accidents before we bought our house. It turns out that water is a higher priority on the threat list for our family.
