Something that has been on the back of the mind for some time prompted this. Well, that and reading a ton of the social aspects of a major disaster. Some my own study, but also some material from my wife and sister (education and neuroscience, respectively), both of whom had interesting contributions. (A return to a deep study of what went down in the Hurricane Katrina in various communities has brought the concept more to the fore as well.)
More on the point; we have a lot of good folks here spread around the Pacific Northwest (and elsewhere), who live in a multiplicity of communities. From the major metro centers, to remote locations, to the rural communities, and all points in between. Some highly diverse, others not.

Queries:
- How do you foresee things going down in your community in the event of a major disaster (e.g., a Cascadia event, nuclear exchange, et al.)? Naturally there is no way knowing for sure, sans experiencing it, or a crystal ball. But an educated guess can be made.
- With this in mind how are you preparing, networking, etc.?
- Do you see the present social structures helping or hurting? Why?
- What rôle do you see you and your family playing? (Or, perhaps none at all.)
- How do you see present community organizations responding? Positive, negative, or irrelevant?
- What's your game plan regardless?
