(NaturalNews) The city of Berkeley, Missouri has issued an emergency preparedness alert to its citizens, urging them to stockpile food, water, gasoline, prescription medications and fully-charged cell phones in anticipation of widespread rioting.

The letter, shown below (with h/t to TheGatewayPundit.com), also urges citizens to have a "contingency plan for picking up your children from school," warning that roads may be blocked, preventing vehicular traffic from moving. The local airport, says the letter, will be "protected by the National Guard" and curbside drop-offs of luggage will not be allowed.

Local government now following the advice of survivalists and preppersThe content of this letter can only be honestly characterized as a "social chaos survival alert," and it's the kind of straight talk the local citizens really need to hear.
