As an amateur radio op in the bay area, I've been involved with local OES, specifically in the SF Bay Area. San Francisco's stance, apparently mimed by the State of CA is that "we'll change what we do as the situation itself changes". In other words react, rather than proact. This is about 2 hour old info from the head of Emergency Services in SF. -ed - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

"You literally are staying home, is what happens, unless you are required to be out. No different than if you had a state of emergency with a snowstorm." Except that in a snow storm, I can go out if I want to, and not face criminal liability. Are they planning to at least go through the farce of declaring martial law first? -- Yours, J.A.

NJ: Red alert? Stay home, await word
http://www.southjerseynews.com/issues/march/m031603e.htm If the nation escalates to "red alert," which is the highest in the color-coded readiness against terror, you will be assumed by authorities to be the enemy if you so much as venture outside your home, the state's anti-terror czar says. ...
