The "big one" hits. (Insert your most likely local emergency/disaster here.) You, for WHATEVER reason, go to a local shelter. You bring some gear. People in the shelter, even though in a state of shock from recent events, recognize you as the person who was always encouraging others to prepare, or see you as the most prepared. So they elect you to be in charge! You have about 200 people in your shelter. It has minimal supplies. Some people have brought some stuff (perhaps they are lurkers on ETS), others have just the clothes on their backs (and consider themselves lucky to be alive). Figure 48-hours until you get outside help of ANY kind. Has anyone had any decent training for this?

How do you maintain security? Sanitation? Do you "redistribute" supplies for the good of all? Do little kids get to eat, while healthy adults wait? What if someone does not want to cooperate with the group?

If you work in public safety, or are a Red Cross volunteer (or paid staff), you could be in this very situation. Everyone is looking to you to take charge and make the tough decisions. Ideas?
