Thank you for all your input. We don't have much in the way of disaster groups here. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> , despite being in earthquake/volcano country. I try to be prepared as much as I can, mainly so I can control my own situation and not be a drain on imported resources. I fully intend to stay home if I'm not forced out by the situation (i.e., firestorm).
