(as an aside, I really liked the first half or so of that movie, which was about what this post concerns - "what if you were just living your life, at a party or whatever, when all of a sudden real shit starting going down?" - but I wasn't so crazy about the whole alien/monster thing).
Anyway, Carly should really be writing this post, as she knows more than I do about this stuff, but our conversation about it yesterday sparked me. I don't have any real insight, just questions: What kind of "major disaster" should we be worried about? How should we prepare? Whose responsibility is it to help protect us, and they preparing effectively?
Some peoples' answers to these and other questions are in these articles:
A report on "Protecting the Public's Health from Disease, Disasters, and Bioterrorism," courtesy of Carly
An op-ed about how to distribute the Anthrax vaccine, should there be another attack
The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism's report, saying there probably will be, and it will be soon
A discussion of how to protect people in fancy hotels in dangerous places, in the wake of the Mumbai attacks
