As someone who lives in Mormon country, most families here are incredibly well-prepared for emergencies. It's notable that the LDS-style emergency preparedness assumes that social structures will be available through the local wards and therefore individual preparedness can be planned more practically. For example, emergency food stores are standard groceries rotated through the household's regular diet rather than special emergency foods.
