The problem as highlighted by PR is that the people most in need of that kind of help can least afford o adequately stockpile in case of emergencies. If you can afford to stockpile months of food and water, that’s great, but only if you can afford it.

The best disaster preparedness measure you can take is to insist that people in PR are helped -- so if it happens to you, the expectation is assistance. I reminded of the hunter-gatherer concept: the best place to store food is in another belly.

If I have to choose between other kids, and my kids, I choose mine. Worse, what if it were a situation in which helping revealed the degree of my preparation, and led to looting?
