New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina?
How about Jackson, following a major earthquake?
If you believe the chaos surrounding Katrina could never be duplicated here, think again.

Fact is, we sit dangerously close to the New Madrid Fault, an earthquake waiting to happen, a geological belt stretching from southern Illinois into West Tennessee.

"The biggest challenges with earthquake preparedness are 'convincing people it’s going to happen' and 'convincing people it’s going to be devastating.' I don’t think they realize how bad it will be."—Joe Burton, Scott County Emergency Management Director
