What do you do when you're running a conference and your head of security/one of your speakers comes down with the flu and is vomiting his guts out all weekend? You make do the best you can on the security front and reschedule his talk for the next DC401 meeting.
As displayed over and over throughout history disasters can and do happen. Three trends tend to be consistent:
* The disasters can and do happen when least expected.
* People and and government are never prepared to handle the situation.
* Government is usually ineffective in preventing the crisis or providing a solution.
The goal of this talk is to briefly discuss situations where a crisis can cause a dangerous situation, steps one can do to prepare, and some simple hacks to increase your odds of survival in the first couple weeks after the crisis arises.
