“If I were you, I’d have a few weeks to months of supplies on hand.”
____________________________________________
Where I live, on a beach, there is no need to stock up on supplies. The town market area is a five min. bicycle ride up the road. Unlike markets in the US, our market is made up of 50, or so, vendors selling everything from fresh meats, fruits, and vegies to computer parts. Living in the vegetable capital of Cebu, we have all the fresh veggies and fruit that one could want. There is a fresh bunch of bananas hanging from the tree, just outside my front door. Most of my neighbors are fishermen who bring in the fish every day.
Even with the municipal water system down, we have a deep well available.
The only inconvenience is when the electricity fails.
It was out for four hours after the quake.
Many of the market vendors were closed most of the day, as they were picking up their goods from the floor.
