When your health, your comfort, your food, your water, your heat, maybe even your life, is at risk, no matter how great or small, it would be wise and reasonable to prepare. Although we are all told that there shouldn't be any serious problems, no one knows for certain what will happen. It is this uncertainty, and lack of understanding, that prompts a need for concern and awareness.
Complete preparation is essential.
