I was reading someone's post about being prepared for the bird flu.
Great subject. And one I felt needed expanding on in it's own thread.
Outbreaks of bird flu, west nile virus, mad cow, pandemics, natural and (unatural) disasters, Y2K, blackouts, shortages of all kinds ....etc etc. Is this a wake up call? Or are they just a bunch of annoying chicken little reports?
Living in post 911 has made us a bit jumpy.
One thing is for certain:
There is no shortage of is doomsayers!
Should we be concerned?
Next question: Should we be disaster planning and stockpiling?
And if so, how can you prepare without breaking the bank?
