I just want to post this as a public service announcement;
When things start to happen, remember to move and be proactive. It is not uncommon for people to freeze and watch as events unfold. That can kill us. We need to snap out of it because this is what we have been prepared for and we will help the others who panic.

normalcy bias -noun
The phenomenon of disbelieving one's situation when faced with grave and imminent danger and/or catastrophe. As in over focusing on the actual phenomenon instead of taking evasive action, a state of paralysis.

Bless you Charlie, this is very wise and many here do not YET realize that combat is coming, uninvited but will arrive none the less.

Be prepared , always practice "what if scenarios", we must train ourselves for the unexpected. Be aware of your surroundings, and don't assume anything.

Stairwells or very dangerous places tb alone... parking garages, elevators etc ... stay in groups. Nothing good happens in the dark. Do as much as possible during the daylight. Plan ahead and always be ready.

Yes friend, bless you as well...
You touch on some very good points that we all should be attentive and aware of. I feel we all will have to step out of our comfort zones to do battle soon. Be well, Laurel...
