Preparing for Public Rioting and Looting

These occupy people and their promise of violence have got me to thinking.  Last week, they marched on Bank of America, 1 block away from where I work.

What happens when a riot or looting occur in an area where you live or work?  There are options.

Avoid the area if you are not in the area - do not go in!

Leave the area - This may not be as simple as it sounds.

Starting now keep your eyes open:

• Look for tunnels to escape through.  I found a way out of my building by accident.
• Look for culverts and/or ditches that can keep you out of the main area where the rioting and/or looting is taking place.
• Look for sky bridges between buildings that you can use to avoid the ground where the rioters and/or looters are.
• Find alternate routes from and to work/home.

Staying put:

•  Do you have food and water in your vehicle?
• Do you have protections in your vehicle?  Guns and/or pepper spray?  Do you have the correct permits to carry a gun?
• Do you park close to your building?  Can you make it to your car safely?

 All things to think about.  Especially this coming year.
