Thank you so much for posting these tips!

I have created a document in Word now, to use as our checklist.

Hubby and I create sales support videos for some of the products sold on QVC, and always thought it would have been a great idea to create a video showing people WHAT TO DO. The government (and I can understand why--libility issues, which was our concern, too) never told anyone WHAT to do beyond the duck tape suggestion and putting some lengthy instructions on a website--too much work for the spoiled, I'm busy America we now live in. The duck tape suggestion made a mockery of a very serious situation. It was sad how it was handled and Americans really need something instructional such a checklist, that's easy and well laid out, to follow. This looks very promising at first glance.

THANKS AGAIN FOR POSTING THIS!!!

"The duck tape suggestion made a mockery of a very serious situation."

That (along with the plastic recommended) had to do with a chemical attack scenario--nerve gas. The poison from that kind of attack dissipates/evaporates quickly. Very temporary covers would be adequate. It has been misconstrued since then.

Absolutely false!

The duct tape and plastic sheeting was a very practical and effective solution to the hazzard. Keeping several rolls of Duct tape, and plastic tarps on hand is a reasonable minimum precaution for many types of disaster.

Don't fall into the Drive-By media traps.
