As part of History Channel's "Armageddon Week," they are airing a show called "After Armageddon" that looks to past disasters to examine human behavior under the stress of disasters and resulting disruptions in the basics: water, food, sanitation, health care and security.

It airs on Tuesday, January 5, at 8:00p

After Armageddon:

What have past acts of destruction taught us about what will happen to mankind after the apocalypse? Is it inevitable that disaster will someday strike America on an unprecedented level? How has history prepared us? History's most dramatic events--Hiroshima, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and others--are examined and analyzed with hard data gathered from their massive aftereffects.

The disappearance of water and food supplies, the effects of deteriorated sanitation and health care on the remaining population, and the increased use of violence as a means of survival--all illustrate how societies have responded and survived.


I'm presently watching DC deteriorate in the "Life After People" series. Decided it's too cold (single digit wind chill) to venture outside for long so am one with the TV.
