• Develop a family emergency plan. Decide which family members are expendable. Share the plan with family and friends, and practice the plan. Visit www.Ready.gov for help creating a plan.
• Create an “Emergency Supply Kit” for your household. You can hide anything in there; no one will look. Seriously.
• Be informed. Frequent Web sites which include the Suicide Squirrel Alert Widget. Visit www.Ready.gov or obtain a copy of “Preparing Makes Sense, Get Ready Now” by calling 1-800-BE-AFRAID.
• Know how to shelter-in-place and how to turn off utilities (power, gas, and water) to your home. Learn how to cut off your neighbors' utilities, also. More for you that way.
• Examine volunteer opportunities in your community, such as Citizen Corps, Volunteers in Police Service, Hell's Angels or others, and donate your time.
• Consider completing an American Red Cross first aid or CPR course, a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course, or hanging out at that bar where all the nurses go when their shifts are over.

NOTE: The danger level will never, ever be green. Ever. Consult the Suicide Squirrel Alert Broadcast System for the proper level of fear and suspicion.

Watch out! Squirrels are at their most suicidal! Automobiles are the squirrels' main choice for suicide, so make sure your car is ready.
