And it really doesn’t work when the “higher authorities” decide that you are the threat and that you are “horders” so they need to “redistribute” your stuff.

The LDS church has the right approach to this I think. Not only to individuals maintain their own years worth of food but the church maintains a warehouse for members. Not a bad idea for a longer term disaster. I’m always puzzled by people who do not have more than a few days canned food in the house. Is a few bags of rice and $150 worth of (Progresso, Campbell’s, Dole, King Oscar, Dinty Moore) what-have-you going to put that much of a financial strain on the household?
