When the sewage hits the oscillating blades of death, will you be ready? A Las Vegas Survival Scenario will be presented to the audience at the start of the lecture. This talk will concentrate on disaster preparedness at the individual and/or family level. General overall preparedness will be covered as well as specific disasters such as terrorism, epidemic, nuclear, technical, and natural catastrophes. At the end of lecture the scenario answer will be given. Be ready to test yourself against your Defcon brethren and the denizens of Las Vegas--- will you survive the high mortality rate?
