I vote for "Wild Animal Rampage"

What's the difference between a race war and a racial war?

Why's a pandemic a natural disaster, but a plague or disease outbreak is in other?

Probably to distinguish between a natural outbreak of a disease and one caused by a deliberate attempt to introduce a disease into another country (think bio-terrorism).
 
There are really only 2 survival scenarios: Do I stay where I am or bug-out?

These are the choices we will face - Shelter in place or leave. You need a plan for both. The difficult thing is to decide which one to implement and how much notice you will have before having to choose.

For example, I live in Chelsea about 125 feet above sea level on a hill and work in Cambridge. In 1938, a hurricane came up the east coast and hit New England, killing 600 people. If this happened this year, do I stay or go? At least I have time to decide.

What if the Watts riots took place in Boston, Cambridge, and Chelsea?

Not much notice for this. And it makes a difference if I'm at work, home, or on the road. Or, how about that ice storm that hit New England this year?

We can worry about nukes and zombies, but the 2 plans should deal with most things in between.

My thoughts only.
