Dont know. But if folks have never had to face a multi-day outage, and lose a lot of food, ability to cook, open a can, pump water, convenience devices and AC, they generally takes steps to not endure it again if they can.
Where we live in the semi-sticks of north GA, the weather can interrupt our power without much warning. Pretty much all of us up here take it on stride. Not that everyone fits the “prepper” model, but virtually all are prepared for the 80% of non calamity level events.
I think folks who aren’t ready, after getting whacked once, would have limited sympathy from others if they were not prepared the second time, unless they just can’t swing the preps physically or financially.
As I posted on another one of these threads. We’ve had 10 day outages here in 0 degree weather. All manner of bad stuff happens, pipes burst, boilers burst, people freeze to death and you don’t just “bounce back” when the power comes back on. Our ancestors knew how to survive, we should learn that too.
