A very worthwhile article- even more interesting to me was the companion article written by a survivor of the recent Haiti earthquake. Living in southern California, the two probable disasters I plan for are wildfire from a nearby hillside, and earthquakes.
It seems to me that if one is going to evacuate because of fire (or other reason), leave early and avoid the rush. In an earthquake, be lucky and do not spend time in the building that will be destroyed.Don't run wildly outside- Duck and Cover!
Sad to read about the lawlessness - there are creeps everywhere, unfortunately.
