Managing Panic in a Pandemic, would be the most important factor in a bad situation. Many people do not handle bad news very well, so they turn to others to help cope with a problem. For example when the swine flu was introduced, many turned to the media for answers and ways not to get sick. If you provide information to the people, it will put them at ease if they know they are getting informed.

I would form a group of people that I know I can trust to get the job done. First, I would get in contact with people from a region that the pandemic already went through, and see what worked and did not work for them. I would then set up a social networking system that people could connect to and read updates on what is going on to handle the pandemic. With the advancement of technoligy, we have instant access to people across the world and should utilize it especially in a situation like this.

By the time I am 100, I would pass on to the world to keep it clean as possible and take care of the environement. I am pretty sure that the endangered species list will have increased greatly due to illegal hunting. I would tell the future generations to conserve water and use what resources are left carefully.

Neighbors thought the resilience plans of Houston were pretty unique. In case of an emergency, all the freeways have traffic diverted in one direction on all lanes, and emergency officials are combing the streets for any victims.

Hurricanes and Tornadoes are common in my region. I would track individuals that would be in charge of groups to check on people who might not have been able to leave the disaster area. I would also track the amount of livestock and water and electricity supply. I would make sure food is supplied to those who need it.

While watching Super Bowl 60 the team that won the game has a head coach who is a woman. This is the third woman coach to win a Super Bowl by this time, and their are a number of female majority owners in the NFL. This will probably happen because there are successful men coaches in women sports today.

This week, I traded drinks to get some friends into a club, so they would not have to pay to get in. I practiced the trade and barter system. The trade and barter system has been around for quite a while, and is a reasonable way to handle things.

I think virtual currency will have the largest change on money in the world, because everything is moving towards technology. With that being said, the risk of identity theft will increase but most networks will have better security. Since the world is advancing quickly with technology, this would probably be the best bet.

Instead of drinking from bottled water I use a water purification system from the fridge. This saves on money and also helps because plastic bottles are not being wasted. HarvestH2O.com is a great Web site to visit because they discuss ways to sustain water by using stored rain water.
