If you want to be worried read "Living Terrors" by Michael T Osterholm Ph.D, M.P.H and John Scwartz.

It is a very well written and researched book by someone who appears to be very much in the "know" about the lack of preparedness currently in the US, and by reading one would assumes elsewhere in the world .

The other is a link of interest of which one point on purchasing gas masks I found interesting. The cut and thrust of this section is don't bother, the odds are that whatever type you buy it will be the wrong type when you need it.
