Should something happen in New York or anywhere else, over two million people are expected to rush to the mountainous region for refuge. Again they have to le fed, dothed, and sheltered as * ell aa other services given them when they arrive. We cannot imagine the chaos that will be pres ent when and if this happens Mass hysteria is bard to deal with Families separated, members kill ed, others injured adds to the shock and anxiety.
