Preparing for Emergencies

I felt really left out when I didn't get my own copy of that classic Aussie comic novella 'Be Alert but not Alarmed' distributed by the Howard government last year.

But finally the UK government has cottoned onto the positive ratings potential of releasing their own summer blockbuster along the same lines as the original Aussie effort. It's called 'Preparing for Emergencies, what you need to know' and has some great gags in it like 'Terrorist bomb attacks mostly happen in public places, especially where people gather or travel'.



And now some web prankster has also cottoned on, and published the preparingforemergencies.co.uk website for the Department of Vague Paranoia, including invaluable advice in case of zombie attack and alien invasion.

Be prepared, citizen!
