I thought this article had a lot of good reminders, although I hope I never get to use them. One of my favorites: A man respects the views of others and doesn’t take them personally. revolution preparedness from Egypt

I think a checkpoint with Blast in full lab gear, standing next to a crate of moltov cocktails, would be very effective at keeping people away.

That article is worth printing out and putting in my hurricane supplies. We had a lot of shady characters show up in our neighborhood after hurricane Ike but only a few of us were willing to deal with them. Most people's mindsets were "only police can do that" but there were no police available. The key message was stay calm and respectful, don't put on macho hard-ass displays...until you need to.
-Blast Should this be the type of thing a Neighborhood Watch be briefed on? They seem to be the closest thing to a civilian authority after the cops. EDIT: for what it's worth, I've got the same apron,glove, etc. All I need is the gas mask...

Unfortunately, my neighbors are mostly a bunch of babies, and there are a couple of overbearing personalities who know nothing but think they know everything. Does anybody else have that problem? There's a free CERT & NIMS seminar at a local school. I can encourage people to attend. I figure anybody who would attend that would be interested in joining together to form a local civilian authority if need be.

Some of my neighbors are like that, but fortunately they're in a minority. There's a free CERT & NIMS seminar at a local school. I can encourage people to attend. I figure anybody who would attend that would be interested in joining together to form a local civilian authority if need be. It's good to encourage people to take CERT training, however my experience has been that overbearing know-it-alls won't take time to learn anything.
