Handheld against terror

I'm not saying you should be worried. But having seen the Home Office distribute their Planning for Emergencies leaflet -- has anyone actually received theirs yet? -- and the U.S. government decide that now is the time to act on four year old intelligence, I thought it my duty to point out these two anti-terror applications you can keep with you at all times on your Palm PDA.
Family Disaster Planner 2004 reminds us that "Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. [...] Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away." You should be reassured by the fact that it was updated for military action in Iraq.
But how prepared should you be for the terrorist threat? Code Orange 2004 has the answers! It details the Homeland Security Directive and the five threat conditions for possible terrorist attack.
Your local official may not be there to help you when anthrax strikes, but your PDA will be.
