Tesla, thank you for the 'engineering' perspective. I. however, differ.
What has NOT happened in either NZ or Japan? Well, I have yet to see any reports about the locals sacking Wal-mart- let alone the police joining in the looting!
I believe that your most important 'asset' in a crisis are your neighbors and co-workers.
Look around you now. If the 'big one' hit, would you all be in it together - or would you feel as if you were lost in Jurassic Park?
If you answer the latter, get out NOW. Nothing good can happen by your continuing to live among such a dysfunctional society.
