September (two months before the election and the month of the Rep. convention in NYC) is going to be...
National Preparedness Month!
Using the threat of terrorism to scare voters: all of September will be "National Preparedness Month"
Overview
Throughout September 2004, the US Department of Homeland Security, American Red Cross, American Prepared Campaign, the National Association of Broadcasters, the US Department of Education and other partners, will host a series of events to highlight the importance of citizen emergency preparedness.
During National Preparedness Month, coalition partners will promote the basic steps all Americans can take to prepare for emergencies through a variety of activities. You are encouraged to heighten your awareness and preparedness. For a good resource on personal and family readiness, visit www.Ready.gov, or www.OPM.gov. Great information is available and should be accessed to Get a Kit, then Make a Plan and Be Prepared.
Should you have any questions about personal preparedness and also what GSA is doing to help this agency be prepared, contact your regional Emergency Coordinator or the Office of Emergency Management at (202) 501-0012.
We will keep all associates informed as developments occur.

Your tax dollars at work! Who comes up with this stuff? Pretty soon they'll l want us to get down under our desks and cover our heads like the old nuclear war preparedness campaign. It's like they don't have a clue what would actually help, so they come up with this stupid crap.
They really get into it too, this is actually from the "Plannng for a NUCLEAR BLAST" portion of the site with regard to potassium iodide: "Plan to speak with your health care provider in advance about what makes sense for your family." I can just see this down at the local HMO. "Dcctor, I'm preparing my family for a potential nuclear blast and I would like your opinion on the appropriate doses for my family..."
It is pretty much an extension of the church: you spent your life preparing for death, when you would go to heaven, IF you did as you were told. Else, you would get nuked.
So, how much smarter is 21st century man over 16th century man: zero.
Why is that? because we are exactly the same biological creatures. But used to be that people like us who challenged the church got seriously fucked.
Hmmm....
I recall a wonderful cartoon, men in chains gazing down from the path on the hill at a huge ship in the harbor, with oars sticking out the side in great numbers, no sails.
"What a beautiful ship! I wonder what makes it go?"
I remember that and wish I had a copy of that cartoon.
