Nah, the existing government will take care of most people if it is a real disaster like a meteor strike or major earthquake. They’ll just have to strip down to get into the facility.

Imagine the Gulf Coast if it got hit with two major hurricanes in a row like Florida sees on occaison. That would be a TSHTF situation. Two Cat 4/5’s in a month and it is lights out for a long time down there. We never considered that until Katrina and you saw what happened to those people.

Realistically, I am in good shape. We don’t have natural disasters in the Appalachian Mtns and gangs/crime is very low. We’ve even had Y2K communities spin up here (and spin down after Y2K). I know a whole lot more than I knew 10 years ago about how to survive with just a pack on my back.

Oddly, they just closed down a prison in Pulaski County next door. Who closes a prison??

~~Very worthwhile, BE PREPARED, JUST IN CASE Thread ........ PING!

Thank you, nw_arizona-granny! I’m in the city now, but I so wish I was back on my fenced acre in the country.

I think an old trusty pickup truck would be vital.

God bless and protect America, while the folks take care
of business.

How true...

Dr. Bill Wattenberg was one of the scientists that did the problem solving for New Orleans and he kept us posted on his radio programs, so I have a different opinion of it than many.

He said the folks in the stadiums could have gotten out, by walking 5 miles and wading across a couple little streams that were ankle deep.

And a lot of other things that fit that pattern.

They closed the prison, so they would have it for those gun toting folks, who keep talking about freedom.

“Who closes a prison??”

If the walls are still standing, and the wire is still in place, a prison is still operable with a minimum of start up time. They are still considered an asset by the government for FEMA or other official uses.
