And what kind of provisions, alert system and emergency plan does the NJ State Police, National Guard, Port Authority, municipal and county Police and US Coast Guard have planned.

Just as important, what do you have planned for you and your family for such contingencies? And our neighbors? Do you ever wonder if we aren't becoming too dependent on the state?

Perhaps Y2K disaster planning should become a permanent part of every family's survival packace? Granted, there was no survival package that could have helped the majority of the tsunami victims. But survival provisions should be a part of every household. Complacency is the biggest enemy of survival.

That is the 64 million dollar question...."Have you made plans for a natural disaster or will you be the one with your hand out after it hits" ? I moved to Florida 12 yrs ago from New Jersey and was told to keep a hurricane pantry.....HA.... I thought it was a joke... but did it anyway. It has sat there for 11 yrs and I have rotated the stock to try to keep it as fresh and updated as possible. When the first hurricane came this year we were in good shape and had food every day with enough to share with my neighbor. When the second hurricane was approaching we got in the car and left town.... we were out of canned goods and had to go. Since then I have replaced everything and have even gotten some REM's.... I guess the Boy Scouts had it right when they said "BE PREPARED".... it could mean your life.
