But there is no sense in panicking, as long as you have enough food in the cupboard for at least 5 days, and a guaranteed water supply, you will be right.The biggest problem is the media, they carry on telling people to stock up on food and supplies and prepare to evacuate at short notice because we all could be inundated by a tidal surge. We have so many people living here that haven't been through a cyclone before and don't know any better, they go and spend $1000 or more on food that needs to be refrigerated or frozen, and have no generator back-up, so when the power is cut, they lose it all. We see it happen too often.</blockquote>
