Over here we face various situations and have some pretty specific public service instructions as long as the electric is working and the television/radio is operating. After those go down it is reversion to vehicles with loudspeakers patrolling the neighborhoods with announcements blaring.

Forced evacuation, voluntary evacuation, shelter in place, dusk to dawn curview, total lockdown or martial law.

I have experienced all and have seen TPTB use them with varying degrees of success.

However, I can not visualize a time when fake panic would be of any benefit. One loses the respect of all around them while running in circles with their arms in the air squealing like a little girl.

Is that the English version of opsec?

It would be very difficult indeed to convince anyone that they needed to listen and follow an instruction from the person they had just seen in meltdown mode.

Even kids in kindergarten are taught that when the fire bell rings they are not to panic. And the last thing you want is a small one looking at you and being afraid to ask what they should do next, because they just saw you in dufus mode.

Who said anything about meltdown? just up and at em there's work to be done.
