greeneyes :" ..Then the “experts” would rate the chances of the particular disaster as so small, one would wonder why prep at all."

Right - it's hard to prepare for every emergency imaginable
Tell that to Puerto Rico - no water, no food, no communications, no power ,no cash, no ATM, etc., etc. (Hurricane)
Tell that to Venezuelans that have been without food, lack sanitary conditions, hospitals are running without electrical power or Medicines (Financial Collapse)
Tell that to the inhabitants of Vanuatu, whose towering volcano eruption displaced most of the inhabitants from their homes (Volcano)
Tell that to the Texans and Floridians who were, and are still without power and out of their homes . (Flooding)
Tell that to Montanans and Idahoans who were forced out of their homes due to wildfires and smoke. (Wildfires)
Rite ! You can't 'prepp' for everything, just DEFINE WHAT IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR AND PREPP FOR THAT !
In the medical profession it is called TRIAGE : selectively setting priorities for maximum success, while minimizing your losses !

Yep. The powers that be don’t want the sheeple to be awake. Bread and circuses - don’t worry, be happy.

It’s always good to start with the for sure and most likely situations, and then the less likely.

What I dislike the most, is that the Government has all these elaborate preparations for themselves, but totally abandoned civil defense preparedness for the citizens.

I saw a recent TV program about a small town in MO. Prepper type guy moved to that town, and talked up various aspects of the need to be prepared. He was sort of the local eccentric to most of the people.

A disaster happened, and people became believers. Now he has at least talked the Mayor and city council into considering how to prepare for an EMP locally. One of their first steps was to buy transponders and store them, not sure what else they are doing.
