A place to share information on emergency preparedness as it relates to disasters both natural and man-made.

Would you survive in the event of economic, political and social collapse? What natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes are prevalent in your area? What can you do? What should you be doing now? What do you need to know/have?

This is a community for those who think that it's better to be safe than sorry, and that we need to start preparing now.

Threat modelling tip: instead of a grand catastrophe, consider two simultaneous inconveniences (lemmy.ca)

A lot of prepper content seems to wrongly focus on grand sudden events-Hollywood-style collapses of society or environment. The reality, from the fall of Rome to Lebanon this century, is that collapse is usually a slow crumbling where the things people rely on become less and less reliable.

A useful intuition pump is to do your threat modelling with two likely events that, if they happened separately, would only be inconveniences, but together pose a serious threat.

For example:

Your kid is away at summer camp and there’s a gasoline supply shock.
A storm washes out your road and your dad gets readmitted to the hospital.
There’s a wildfire and your car battery is dead.

What are the two most likely inconveniences given your loved ones and where you live?

Bad weather and power outage are probably the most likely combo in many areas. Contemplating this scenario encourages you to build alternative methods of creating heat/light.
