At top of list... ARMED. But everything possible one can do to prepare is a necessity these days.
Are you serious? You expect people who have for generations sat around waiting for the gubment to take care of them to actually take an incentive to survive? Get out of la-la land. These people are THE WELFARE STATE that has been the basis of elected Democrats for decades and decades. This is a nightmare. It is not their fault. As long as we're blaming people, I blame liberal policies and politicians in N.O. who have allowed a virtual plantation to exist in their midst. Guess they liked it that way, since they could always count on their votes. Provided they sent the vans to pick them up.
