People could learn a lot from Mormons. They haven't forgotten the importance of planning for survival. In the US the 3 main disaster scenarios with high likelihood are: 1. New Madrid earthquake. If a 7.9 magnitude earthquake (same as quake in New Zealand today) hit's the New Madrid fault quite a few links between east and west would be severed that could take months to repair. Up to 15 nuclear reactors would go offline possibly permanently. This would cause long term power outages on a wide scale. 2. A Carrington level CME. 3. The end of the petrodollar slavery system. Any of these events would cause major and probably permanent lifestyle changes for the survivors. Having food and water is important but having a plan to get more food and water is more important. Having a gun is useful not only for self defense but also so you have an easy way out should it come to that.
