Surviving a Virus Plague

Would you know how to prepare for an unforeseen emergency, or handle an unexpected disaster? What constitutes a disaster is relative to the event and the effect it has on the people.  Major disasters are recurring fact of life for every generation, and the fact that we have not been visited by major disasters for two centuries only means that we are long overdue. The fact is that we are not much more prepared in a practical sense to survive a long-term widespread plague than our poorer counterparts in other countries who deal with similar events on a daily basis.
