Sufficient Life
There are three kinds of scenarios for problems here.
One is the short term, week or two power outage. I think I have that pretty well organized. Wood stove and water stored with food supplies.
Second is the widespread damage to roads and infrastructure. No power and no way to drive to safety. Here that would probably mean a major earthquake or floods. This can mean a month or more with no way to get supplies in or people out. I'd still do OK if my house was standing. Probably OK if one of the outbuilding were standing and I was not hurt. Doable but not happy if I had to camp out.
Third would be a fire or something that mandated I leave my home in a hurry. Now that is one that sort has me unprepared. I have mostly avoided thinking about it although is it not terribly unlikely living in a wood area. But I can't seem to make myself organize even mentally.
So what would you have ready to prepare yourself to pick up and be a refugee somewhere?
