i didn’t really consider GEOGRAPHY, when I asked the question. I was considering it more holistically. I’ve seen Freepers suggest that they’ve, and I’ll admit that I myself have , built a “list”. Seems like good planning to me - although these days I’ve begun the wonder who’s got a list and who’s full of shit. Excuse my language. Snowflakes especially.
I agree with you that planning for disasters, natural or man-made, makes good sense.
And, like you, I have a “list” of essential “supplies” I might need if a disaster lasts for longer than a few days. The “supplies” are stored where I can easily get them if I want them.
I have also identified sources of wild food and running water very near to my home if I should need to augment my supplies.
IMHO, students would be inspired to think about their real “survival needs” if they read “One Second After”. No “zombies” there, just an EMP attack (like the one threatened by the NORKs) and its long-term consequences.
