While I can't respond to the rest of your post, I can say that it seems that this horrific wake-up call really is waking people up. The city I work for has called in the Red Cross to give us a disaster preparedness meeting next week (focused on earthquake, of course). They set up three different meet times so we can all attend. It will include what to do when disaster strikes on the job and at home. I'll report on it later.

I'm sure similar things are happening everywhere.

Of course this has little to do with the specific response here, but I think that this kind of thing helps a lot.
