“When entire towns get wiped out (this fire, hurricanes, earthquakes) one needs to be prepared to last on their own for weeks.”

I live in hurricane country. I’m totally prepared to survive a few weeks without outside food or water, but if my house, truck, and everything around me is wiped out by a tornado I’m screwed. Even if I had stuff stored somewhere else, I wouldn’t be able to get there due to no transportation and I guarantee that fallen trees would block the roads. How do you prepare for that?

Give the detailed scenarios and we can supply the answers, although the people who were below the water level when the levee broke in New Orleans make for a worst-case scenario for a prepper, that one seemed to have called for a bug-out bag and a canoe for the normal prepper, with maybe an Alaskan style cache shack on stilts for the radical, hard-core survivalist living in that below water level area.

Would a "Dirt Bike", with a spark arrestor work?
