Watch the Flight Attendants suddenly burst into a dance!!! Great way to catch attention of bored travellers. This video has been watched 9 million times on youtube, and yes there is even an all male version as well! Which can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnOfFma6p88 As a matter of interest I have taken part in an earthquake dance in Japan...If I get enough interests I might upload it!

Zombie Preparedness! An effort to get people thinking about emergencies differently!
In an effort to highlight emergency preparedness in general, the US Centre for Disease Control has set up a page offering advice about what to do in case of a zombie attack, which is of course being tweeted about and written about in blogs such as this one as well as zooming around the Twitterverse! I think it is a great idea as it gets people talking and reading and is really about preparing emergency kits for the home! Kudos to the CDC for attempting a novel way of engaging those who may not think about emergency preparedness normally!

Educational Resource of the Week!
Here is a great resource I found on Save the Children Website. It is also available in Thai, where it was carried out as an education project and would certainly be a lot of fun to carry out with very young children who make puppet shows as well as maps and go-bags and seems to be a great way of involving the whole community in being better prepared!It revolves around an alert rabbit who mistakenly takes a tsunami test warning to be the real thing and panics others in his community. After the village head hears o this it is decided to hold a meeting and preparedness is discussed and practiced!
