Summary:

Article warns about being prepared for disasters.  Too many don't, and when disaster strikes, order breaks down in 72 hours.

Comment:

I will never forget what happened back in 2005 here in Houston.  It made the national news.  People trying to get out of the city in advance of a hurricane heading this way.  The freeways jammed for 70 miles around the city.  You couldn't get out.  People were stranded in the heat all day long.

In the city, supermarkets were closed.  Those that were open had empty shelves.  The shelves had been cleaned out of goods.  You couldn't get food or supplies.  This was true even though the hurricane hadn't even hit town and didn't hit town.

The lesson learned?  Big cities are death traps in a disaster.  What happened in Houston was only a preview of what would happen in a real disaster.  Only a fraction of the residents tried to leave, yet the roads couldn't handle the traffic.

Our government isn't prepared and won't prepare.  It's up to individuals to take care of themselves.  There's a lesson in there somewhere.
