Damian McBride, special advisor to Gordon Brown (British Prime Minister from 2007-2010) and head of communications at the Treasury gave this simple 3 point advice today in response to the unease and drop in the world stock markets:
Gets ridiculed for it. It seems to me that it would be good advise in any time. In the event everything works out great, you shrug your shoulders and get on with your life as if nothing occurred. In the event things go bad, you are looking pretty solid and can be part of the solution's instead of part of the problem .

Crash advice No.1: get hard cash in a safe place now; don't assume banks & cashpoints will be open, or bank cards will work, he tweeted.
No.2: do you have enough bottled water, tinned goods & other essentials at home to live a month indoors? If not, get shopping.
No.3: agree a rally point with your loved ones in case transport and communication gets cut off; somewhere you can all head to."
