What Would Lincoln Do?

Holy crap.
Local officials say they are as prepared as they can be in the event of a mass-victim tragedy like the one at Virginia Tech yesterday. That's probably true. But it's also probably true that despite everybody's best preparations, many people could be hurt or killed long before police would have a chance to do anything about it.
Events like yesterday's really make you think about the question of "What if it happened here?" We don't know, of course, and hopefully we never find out. Still, today is as good a time as any to ensure that your emergency plans -- for your family, business, organization, or whatever -- are up-to-date. You can be sure UNL, LPS, and other local agencies are doing just that right now.
