The Emergency Broadcast System

I just cannot stress enough how truly, totally over simplified some of this stuff actually needs to be to make sense to some people. I pay attention to the EBS because I know when it’s activated a lot of people I want to avoid are going to do exactly the opposite of whatever it says to do and I want to know where they are headed so I can stay clear of them. When Mt. Saint Helens blew quite a few people’s response to the EBS warning advisories about that was to stay put and take their chances with swimming in hot molten lava. What the…? I seriously do not ever want to wind up in any kind of life or death crisis situation with people like that! I may not be that much an expert in survival but I do know this – when a volcano blows at the very least don’t run towards it! You’d be surprised how many people have to be told not to.
