To even think about suggesting setting up a voluntary commitee to discuss the possibility of planning a schedule for making a plan will cost well over a billion.

If it makes you feel any better David, should any of the really bad disasters happen, everyone responsible for preparing the plan will probably be dead anyway

And no, there aren't any disasters that should be left off "the plan", but when preparing responses to various scenarios, you start with the ones most likely to happen and work your way down the list. Tidal waves, asteroid strikes, the yellowstone caldera erupting, those all come fairly far down the list and tend to be so overwhelming that the plan is basicly to say "Oh crap" before being incinerated/crushed/drowned. Hell, some things (the last two on that list for starters) are so overwhelming that all of mankinds resources combined wouldn't cope with them.

Have to say, after today's statement on the tsunami damage by McGuinness, I don't think I want to trust this lot to plan a drinking session in a brewery...
