Being retired military I've seen the refugee situation many times. I've seen these desperate people kill and steal anything they can to survive. It’ not nice, but it is the reality most of the time.
That brings me to my post. I live out in the sticks, not in a city. My entire home is set up to sustain my family and our animals. My home was built with armed defense in mind. I am not susceptible to fire, land slides, and am as earthquake proof as I could make it. But even if the house goes temporary shelters are readily available. I have my own power, water, stored food, garden, and slaughter animals.
I won't be in a sharing mood, I have set up to provide for my family not yours or anyone else's.
So in this beg emergency where are all the city folks planning on going? To put it bluntly, they ain't coming here!!!!! I may fire up the backhoe and dig a big hole in the north 40 for those who insist, but nothing here is for them no matter what their state.
Most of my friends are set up in about the same way. People who chose to live in the cities that have a very limited food and water supply are going to have problems if something big happens, but it is their problem not mine.
If the logistics that supply the cities totally fail most of those people will need more than three days of supplies just to get out of the city. On the fourth day they will be refugees without food, or water, and the locals are going to tell them to just keep moving because there is nothing there for them.
I've seen this scenario repeated many times all over the world. People really need to take a hard look at where they are and what they will need to survive in a prolonged emergency.

Worth bearing in mind, and heeding well.
