Urban survival will be 100% about weapons, ammo and the will/skill to use them.

It’s better to leave the city now before the disaster happens. Will save a lot of grief trying to get out while avoiding gangs, lawlessness and anarchy.
When the Eletric power stops in the ‘city’...
Your house becomes a bad cave
The water will stop running
The sewer system stops working - impact on you varies by location
No fridge, no stove, no cooking = no food
Stores will close
When the cops don’t show up to work, it is all over....
On the other hand, city life is great - while it lasts.

I always get a kick out of the urban dweller who thinks they will escape mayhem by rushing out to the wilderness and waiting it out. As if the other Like the million other people in the city are just going to stay put. Bugging In is the most realistic method of waiting out a disaster. That being said... The most likely scenario where one would have to leave would be a natural disaster ( flood, fire, earthquake) so preparing for that is definitely imperative. Prepping your own home is always the best bet.

Add to that a rechargeable battery that you can use to charge your phone.

Two words: Get out.
If people living in the urban jungle expect the cavalry to rescue them, it won’t happen. Get out.
If people expect to hoard and buy enough gear to survive the urban Mad Max, forget it. Get out.
Get out. Get out. Get out.
