You know people here. You know coworkers that you work with - coworkers 
who are all in the same boat as you are.

That actually gives you a leg up in finding jobs in other companies 
together.  When I was laid off from Novell (and my former coworkers at 
Albertsons are learning this now as well as they've all just been made 
redundant), those of us who were laid off looked out for each other.

Take some time and talk with some of your soon-to-be former coworkers.  
Ask them what they are looking for, tell them what you're looking for.  
If you see something that looks like it might be a good fit for them, 
tell them - they'll do the same for you.

They are in a position to empathize with your situation because you share 
it.  That's something that you all can benefit from.
