You’re right its not the same model. Our model is even more fragile. Supermarkets have 3 days of food at most. Everything else is trucked, flown, or shipped in.

When those trucks, ships, planes stop then so does the food.

I have been there twice. In winter of 1979, I lived in Malibu and all 4 entry roads were cut off -- PCH north (at Trancas), PCH south (at Sunset), Malibu Canyon (at the tunnel as happens every year) and Kanan/Dume at Encinal. We went exatly those 3 days and they were talking about a ferry service but then somehow they got PCH at Sunset open and supplies (and us) started moving again.

The second time was the Northridge quake (I was 3 miles form the epicenter). All the local stores were closed for 2 weeks+, but you could drive 1/2 hour or so into Hollywood or or thereabouts and the stores were open and the shelves full.

I hope you’re right but I’m not willing to bet my life on it.
