Nuclear warfare is not necessary to cause a breakdown of our society. You take a large city like Los Angeles, New York, Chicago their water supply comes from hundreds of miles away and any interruption of that, or food, or power for any period of time youre going to have riots in the streets. Our society is so fragile, so dependent on the interworking of things to provide us with the goods and services that you dont need nuclear warfare to fragment us anymore than the Romans needed it to cause their eventual downfall.

One of the great advantages of where I live in the Philippines
is that I do not depend on supermarkets.
I live in the vegetable capital of Cebu, where fruits and veggies are in great abundance, as well as fish, pork, and chicken.
It is very hard to imagine a shortage of food, and being in a warm climate, I do not worry about heat in winter.
I also enjoy a wide range of environments. If I need to leave my beach, I can be on the highest mountain (3100 ft), only 10 km inland.

We here really feel it’s past time to prepare. We started late - maybe too late.

One famous historian and past period philosopher made a very famous quote, one that I think we should remember, especially after watching the Arab Spring on the international TV stations. He said; "a nation is only three meals away from chaos and instability." You see, when the people can no longer eat, and they have no food, they come out into the streets. At that point there will be hell to pay for the government, King, dictator, or even Republic which promised the people prosperity. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/6939661

I’ve noticed that outside the city, we have a harder time getting the “just in time inventory” deliveries in normal times so rural areas will lose their deliveries before the cities will in bad times.
