This is a startling statistic, adding up to over 209,880 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault in 2004, according to the 2004 National Crime Victimization Survey. These attacks occur under many different circumstances and against a variety of different people of all backgrounds, ages, and classes.

It's now the mantra of emergency management officials everywhere: every household should have enough water, food and other supplies to last at least three days, as well as a family reunion and communication plan.
