Evacuation Planning

Apparently it is time that we make an evacuation plan. We have this whole packet of things telling us of different scenarios that we need to expect so that we won't panic. Here are just a few:

***Consider what you will do if the water and the electricity are cut off...hmm, I can't imagine.
***Consider what you will do if the market is closed...umm, go back after nap/prayer time?
***Consider what you will do if the phone lines are down...again, I just can't imagine
***In the event of an emergency, maintain phone, email or fax contact at all times...b/c they probably won't cut off the phones...and why did you just say to consider it?

I just think it's a little funny/ironic that they're saying to consider these types of scenarios emergency situations and they're even warning us not to panic. I thought all this stuff was just normal!!
