And have no plan to defend yourself and family...

+++++

1. Plan on staying home: There aren’t many situations where you would need to evacuate an entire city, and for some types of disasters such as a chemical attack, it’s safer to stay indoors rather than leave.

2. But be prepared to leave quickly : In order to prepare for evacuations, it’s recommended that people listen to local new stations for alerts, and keep a track of social media for evacuation plans.

3. Have the right supplies on hand: It’s often recommended to have enough water and non-perishable food for three days, and to have an emergency kit with a flashlight, batteries, a first aid kit and a solar charger for your phone if there is a power outage. In addition, if cellular service goes down, a hand-crank generator radio can help you receive emergency alerts.

4. Be aware of your surroundings: Depending on what the emergency is, you may need to know how to switch of your gas, electricity or water in your home. If you do have to leave your home, it’s important to plan an escape route with alternatives in case certain exits are blocked off.
5.Stay calm: Having a positive attitude and maintain calm, as becoming anxious can become dangerous when facing obstacles.

Need to revise some of that advice. 6 months at the very least of non perishable food. White Rice keeps better than Brown. They can be stored in gallon jugs or old 2 liter soda bottles. Beans, noodles, long term canned goods, dried fruit/veggies, sugar, coffee, flour, salt. Be sure to keep rotated. AMMO that matches all your guns and don’t stint on the rounds, mix in hollow point with regular practice rounds. Tracer rounds too. Hatchet, hunting knife. Better know the basics of COOKING in or out doors.

Real serious learn to can food you grow, put up heirloom seeds of different varieties. Modern seeds don’t do well reproducing.

Quality trash bags. Mylar bags, sealed drums or tubs, PVC with caps you can burry, rice is a good moisture absorber in a sock. SPARE comfortable clothes/shoes made for walking. Coats, sweaters, blankets, sterno, strike any where matches stored water tight. Kerosene, Gas treated with Stay Bil last 2 yrs, rest might last a yr, if you can find it. Solar Panels, inverter, have to have a way to have light, heat, and PROTECTION.

A Grab and Go Bag with all basics in it, don’t leave home with out your gun, knive, food, water, and shelter. Plan like you are taking a backwoods hiking trip alone or for a pair.

Water purification kit, beefed up Med Kit. Learn basic Med, stock stuff like cold, Tylenol, Ibuprophen, diahrea, puke meds. CLEAN WATER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Besides food and Protection.

FARADAY BOXES for electronics, they can be simple or complicated as you need them. https://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/build-your-own-faraday-cage-heres-how/

Cars after 1979 are computerized....won’t work if hit by a EMP. Noting run by computer will. Solar recharge batteries to run flashlights, radios. Ham gear. All go in a FARADAY box. Simple bubble wrap, then taped tin foil around an old cell phone or Ham gear will give you a gps but that is all some comm not much depending on other Hams and how they store items.

Learn to farm/husbandry, have a safe house in the boonies in a conservative gun loving state where you can baracade yourself/family in safety, learn how to make booby traps and camofalage your area.

Some of the Prepper sites give a lot of commonsense even in short term need advice.
