Watching these huge disasters, the wailing people in the streets, overwhelmed rescue services...wow.
So let's say your city has just been destroyed an hour ago and you are one of the unhurt survivors, what do you need to be thinking of? This seems to be lacking in our discussions of Japan. While most of us "old-timers" have most of this figured out I think it would be beneficial to talk about it to help newer board members.
Some common questions:
How do you protect yourself from possible physical dangers (falling debris, fires, etc...)
How do you find your family?
How do you get home?
How do you find aid stations?
Will you be able to get news from radios?
How can you tell if you've been exposed to radiation?
What will happen if you are exposed to radiation?
When will "help" arrive (I know this is a potentially loaded question)?
What will aid stations be like?
Can you drink water coming out from a broken water pipe?
