Sekrayray,

Most posters are talking about what natural disasters they experience and less about preparedness, so I’m going to take the preparedness angle:

  1. We have a go bag with medical supplies, very basic survival equipment, and non-perishable food.
  2. We have enough non-perishable food at home for my wife and I for about 3 months
  3. We have enough water for a week, and lifestraws to use local water supplies after that.
  4. We have basic survival things like hand crank chargers/radios, solar batteries, thermal blankets, etc.
  5. In the case of man made disaster (nuclear war) we have iodine pills.

My take on survival stuff is to be prepared but not be a prepper. Some folks take this way too far. I feel everyone who builds a bunker and has a years worth of food is going to have someone fall flat on their house and it won’t matter anyway. That being said, I want to have enough to comfortably survive a week-month, and then after that things would be so fucked that all bets are off anyway.
