Being prepared would mean to me that when a disaster strikes, I don't want to add to the problem by taking up room in the food line or the shelter or have to "fight" at Kroger's for food to last for 3 or 4 days..

...or there is a "glitch" in the banking system: a solar flare, or a cyber attack..which disables the ATM's and credit card system so that it is impossible to get cash or buy stuff.....

...it IS going on as we speak in Europe, and we are one lunatic decision away from being in the same situation right here in River City.

I am not a "doomsday prepper". I am not storing 3 year's provisions or fortifying my "compound". If there is domestic strife, I intend to fight it out in my front yard.

Most natural disasters will last for less than 2 weeks, so if we all just could "survive" on our own for that amount of time, we would all be ok.

Food, water, toilet paper, battery radio, gas in your car, good books, and a little cash which will get you thru 2 weeks will do the trick for most of the disasters.

“Most natural disasters will last for less than 2 weeks, so if we all just could “survive” on our own for that amount of time, we would all be ok.”

One helluva lot more clarity/detail is required on that first fragment of the sentence. Therein lies the big unknown. That is when most chaos will set the stage for anything that occurs later, if you survive.
