Local news win

My hometown was hit by a 6.5 earthquake a few hours ago. (That's the leading story on CNN World, btw!)

My family is okay, and my mother sent me this priceless picture. The local news station is broadcasting from their van because there's no power at the station. They have cameras set up outside the van, and when they aren't actively interviewing anyone you can see the following handwritten sign, on an 8.5x11 piece of paper, taped to the side of the van:



"STAY TUNED FOR MORE LIVE COVERAGE AND EMERGENCY INFO."

You stay classy, Eureka!

So places have Emergency Action Plans in store for situations like this, don't they?

Do you think somewhere there is actually an Emergency Plan that includes "Write 'Stay tuned' on a sheet of paper and blu-tack it in front of the camera"?
