The first question out of the gate asked (considering the interview was taped on 9/11/09) was about what citizens can do to respond when the disaster happens.

My response focused on the first thing coming to mind — “Immediately execute your disaster preparedness plan”.

Sounds simple, but my point is that without a plan, who knows what you will do — in SoCal, most people immediately dive for the cellphone and call asking, “Did you feel that?” — this blows out communication lines and is the incorrect first step.
