I'm telling you, that's not going to work very well in the states I mentioned and probably several I didn't. It's just not workable on any level. Unless there is some mass attack and dozens of cities are laid to waste and life as we know it is completely gone, it's not going to happen. and that could happen, but when or if it does, whole different ball game. People laugh at me for saying this but what the hell; don't get in the government rescue line.
No kidding. Those poor slobs in NO who went to the Dome during Katrina got a good dose of that.
From what I can tell, it is best for everyone to have a 72 hour emergency plan and all the items necessary and accessible in case of such a disaster. Food, water, protection, medical kit, clothing, cash, etc.
