Please take this seriously for your own good and that of your family. In a disaster government will be focused on first shoring itself up, re-establishing essential services and trying to help those in most need. The vast majority will be on their own for days or weeks. How well you make it through will be up to you and what you do BEFORE the disaster hits. Here in Cali, a major earthquake is an inevitability and serious fires are fairly common.
We’ve seen it time and again over the last decade. An emergency strikes and panic grips the city or region for days or weeks on end.
We saw a complete breakdown of emergency response and law & order during Hurricane Katrina. The 2011 Snowpocalypse on the east coast led to runs on grocery stores and empty shelves within a matter of hours. Widespread blackouts during Hurricane Ike left large sections of the Houston power grid down for up to four weeks. In all these cases gas was almost impossible to find, what was in your pantry was what you had until food distribution resumed, local water was not safe for consumption, and government response was limited to reinstating essential services first and foremost.
. . . .
Read the whole article and start TODAY if you haven't already. If nothing else store a gallon of water per person per day, some flash lights and batteries, canned/dried foods, and a simple first aid kit. This will get you started and can be done with one trip to the grocery store and less than $100. The more extensive the preps of more people, the better for everyone.
