Within the next three weeks or so, every Rhode Island household will receive a booklet with information on how to prepare for a bioterrorist attack or another emergency.

And lest the brochure end up on the junk-mail heap, Boy Scouts from the Narragansett Council will be posted outside Shaw's, Stop & Shop and Dave's Marketplace supermarkets this weekend, handing out cards urging people to read, keep and heed the booklet.

Titled "Make a Kit. Make a Plan. Stay Informed," the blue-covered, 29-page publication was produced by the state Department of Health with $200,000 in bioterrorism money from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It describes what you need to have on hand to sustain you and your family for three days, the differing responses to biological, chemical and radiological attacks, what local authorities are doing now to prepare for emergencies, and how to cope with the emotional stress of disasters.

1. You know this is the kind of info

that if done corectly goes a long way

Now here are the subjects you should also look in it

Supplies, check
What you need to do, check

Will they have actual good info on what to look for? You know silly things like oh abandoned packets or "sweating" packets in the mail? Are tehy removing any large USPS boxes, capable of receiving large pakets? those are the things that have to be done as well.

btw, the reason why I am so cynical with this crap is... I know it can be effective, ask both the British (IRA) the Spaniards (The Basque movement) or the Israelis (in spite of all the pain it could be ten times as bad), But it will continue to be a joke until they continue to use this to scare peoople but nothing of REAL substance is in there.

Oh and yes due to profesional hazards I did get some linited training in this crap.
