I agree that you should be aware about what is going on around you. Don't panic or go overboard but be prepared with supplies and a possible evacuation plan. If an event should happen, you need to know if you should evacuate, where you should go or whether you need to "shelter in place".

I now live about 30 miles from Toledo, Ohio. A few weeks ago the Toledo area had a "water scare". All of our local stores were sold out of water in a few hours. If the news even mentioned it "might" snow when I lived in the DC area, all of the store shelves were emptied.
