Logical list but in the referenced calamities (Katrina, Japan), when their homes were washed away, might not one assume their supplies were similarly lost?

I will be gathering said supplies, however. Some of them, anyway.

Your survival plan should be in layers

Home

Vehicle

Afoot or bicycle ...

We also store a spare truck and Fifth Wheel RV about a hundred miles from our primary home. Understand not all folks can do such but thinking along such lines will let you go from power out to last resort bug out situations.

Under the seat of my truck or trunk of my car is a pelican suitcase bolted to the floor with a long term survival pack inside. Food, water and all needs addressed if forced to abandoned our home for the short term. Tools, supplies and food stored within a easy days bike ride from home.

Layer your plans, redundancy in depth per se.....

Stay safe .
