There is a reason Americans have been prepping and are in survival mode....even though they are laughed at and made fun of....When the SHTF, you won’t find me in a big crowd sitting on my butt and waiting on government to give me water, food or shelter.
One more thought, now do people see why a ‘bug out’ bag needs 3 day supplies of water, food, reflective blankets, tent, bandages etc? In a major hit, it takes at least 3 days to get equipment, supplies etc to a stricken area..
