In before someone post about how preppers’ supplies would be all washed away.
There are far more homes unflooded, but with people with no power and no way to get anywhere than there are flooded homes. Most likely 9 to 1 or better. Now if each of the homes that are unflooded just cut off and with no power, water, communications, supplies, medical care, etc... have prepped how much less a strain will it be logistically on first responders? Wouldn’t being able to take care of yourself and your family and not needing help ease their burden and leave more for those that truly need it?
It not just the preppers themselves, if you have stuff you can help. If you have power you might not be able to power other’s homes, but you can charge batteries and electronics for them. If you have a way to cook you can cook a pot luck for your neighbors. And it’s not just about STUFF!
I saw a pic today of the NYFD putting out a fire people had built in a BBQ grill to stay warm.
I was stunned.
