and share. I think a couple of major points are being missed. I fail to see the problem with always be prepared for the absolute worst. In disasters most come together as communities and help each other etc. There is always a few opportunistic predators.
Another question is will emergency services be operational enough to deal with the problem or not? If I understand correctly, this hurricane may hit in New England and New York, which don't have a history having them. With that in mind, do these local governments have useful contingency plans in place? Do they have the ability to carry them out if needed?
