Community awareness question #1- How much do you know about disaster preparedness in your own community?

Question

Is your community prone to natural or manmade disaster? Is your social and physical infrastructure in good enough shape for evacuation and response (roads, bridges, hospitals, public transportation, refrigeration, trained emergency responders, etc.)? If not, what is being done about it? Are you taking an active role, or is it someone else's job? Just curious to see how folks respond to this...
