Key Findings | Individual and Community Preparedness Division
FEMA has conducted the National Household Survey on Disaster Preparedness annually since 2013 to assess preparedness actions, attitudes and motivations in the United States.
The survey measures preparedness of the American public across the whole community.
The survey was fielded from February 1 to March 14, 2023.
Data was collected using a web-based survey written in English and Spanish.
7,604 responses were received.
Everyone was asked general disaster and pandemic preparedness questions.
Some people identified as being at greater risk for one of the hazards surveyed were asked additional preparedness questions related to that hazard.
Responses were adjusted by key demographic variables to better reflect the composition of the general public.

Which you can see if you read the report.
So the answer is no, I would not answer any of it.
No one asked you a question, I was merely correcting your post 21.
Not everyone read the PDF and your post could mislead them what the survey had asked the respondents.
“move as far as you can from heavily populated areas. If you do not make that happen it is a waste of time to make further preparations.”
That’s the first thing you do. The second thing you do is refuse to respond to FEMA or other government questionnaires.
Yep, the blast door was kept unlocked when they weren’t in town, and the Bacon prepper wasn’t interested in it for himself and just casually gave away a military level survival base of supplies and global communications and information and stores.
I get to tell an anecdote about when I “got it”.
Many decades ago I was a youngster and worked for the US Census Bureau in their regional office in Dallas, Texas.
I was good at it and quickly became a crew leader and trainer for my team and others.
One of the mantras we were told and told the public and I told my trainees was:
“U.S. Census Bureau information is confidential and has never been released to other government agencies.”
I believed it—I had no reason not to believe it.
Alas—it was a lie—discovered by some academic types in 2000 searching in dusty archives...

This secret was kept by thousands of people for almost sixty years.
Remember this anytime anyone tells you “they couldn’t have hidden a secret that so many people know about for so many years”.
Yes they can—and they did.
In this case it was in the interest of none of the participants to become a whistle-blower.
F’ FEMA. I don’t expect anything from them but preference to minorities and pain.
Don’t forget paperwork—lots of paperwork.
;-)
If we’re not prepared at this point I give up. 😉
.......FEMA couldn’t pull a little red wagon down the street.
It’s time to close it down and send every last bureaucrat home. America is broke and can no longer afford it’s 1,000 plus federal agencies.
State and local volunteers are infinitely more efficient, respond infinitely quicker (minutes not days, weeks or months) and there is virtually no stealing of the taxpayer dollar.
NEVER got anything.
300 million ++++ persons—and got just over 7,000 responses???
HERE’S another waste of tax money.
IF I did get such a survey-
I would have to decide whether to shred it or send it back with nasty comments.
They wants all kinds of info in 2000 Census.
I sent it back-—NOYB NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Got a demand letter-— It is still somewhere in a file cabinet.
What percentage had at least two weeks of food for the household on hand?
When I was doing more camping I would get bins of freeze dried food. I probably have a couple months worth of emergency food. In the past, I held it to feed my family. Now, they are mostly out on their own.
Now, I look at the families with young kids in the neighborhood. I figure if I can feed them for a week or so in a disaster situation, their parents wont kill me.
Do NOT forget the dog.....
Thought Kevin Bacon was smarter than that.
A decade or so ago, there were some poisoned dog kibble recalls in the news. Ever since, I try to keep a couple big bags on hand, figuring it’s good from a prepper standpoint, and if what I’ve bought is involved in a recall, someone else will find out the hard way, mine will be queued up on a shelf.
Or they just wait on the side of the Roadblock Checkpoint and steal Your Generator and Fuel Supply.
Then they go for the Food, Water and Medical Supplies.
Those dates are more of Rotate your stock and buy some more because the drug companies are going broke.
If stored properly (Sealed Package/Temp/Humidity/Darkness or Light) they should last pretty much indefinitely.
Should have sent back a denial of demand letter.
they follow yer credit card...
They’re going to think that I eat lead and brass.
