Is this the first time that a disaster of this nature and proportion has struck, excluding Hurricane Katrina?
Which brings up a possibly irrelevant thing to wonder: Is it better to have no information at all, or disjointed information that adds to the mess? There's the creation of fear and panic and hysteria from not knowing, and the fear/panic/hysteria from getting confused and more worked up than may be necessary, depending on the area. Unless, it's clear as day, humans tend to good at panicking. Since the marines near you at Miramar are being evacuated, might be time to go. Except the question is where, and which place would have sufficiently helpful and relevant communication after that?
Either way, hopefully you won't be too highly stressed about this, and that all will be somewhat alright. One can hope.
