“That is why most preppers have more then one for more then one situation. “

Well, how many situations are you prepping for, and what are they? Please keep in mind, I am not being critical of preppers, but just playing devil’s advocate in order to expand the subject and understand the mindset of the serious preppers. Obviously, there is not “one size fits all” situations.
Where I live, the most likely problems are Typhoons and earthquakes. It is easy to prepare for a typhoon, as we have plenty of warning. Prepping for an earthquake, however, is problematic. In my opinion, I would think that transportation from the problem would be the most important.
Actually you prep for things in the order of possibility and most preps are multipurpose.
Is it possible that your income will be either delayed or cut off? For most people the answer is yes. So you put cash aside to cover your necessary bills and you stock up on items you need to live.
These same preps also serve in case of everything from a bad storm to a bank run. From there you move forward making your plans.
Not to be contrary with you Alex...but there was a time when info was withheld from people, so they wouldn’t panic.
Up until 1940s, Americans didn’t even get tornado forecasts

I’m not so sure we can even trust those who hold the info for dissemination.
You will never understand preppers as they are thinkers and doers.
Minor natural issues happen too - the heater going out, etc.
