This might be a useful place to discuss any kine preps...hurricane, poverty, pandemic, whatevah.
So, I'll begin with the basics....food, water, and shelter.
Think of your shelter. Are you a homeowner, do you rent, live with room-mates, in a tent at the beach? Have you got a mortgage or monthly rent? Long or short term lease? What about bills? Could you survive if there was a problem, where you are, now? Could you fit in others, if you had to?
Think of your water situation. What would happen, if there was no town water? Are you on catchment, or stored water? Where could you get enough water for your daily needs, if the water supply was cut off? How can you store water? How much water does a person need, every day, for drinking, cooking, washing, and cleaning?
And den, food. How much food do you have on hand, right now? How many meals can you make, for how many people? What about the cooking fuel? Dishwashing liquid? How could you cook, if there was no electricity or gas? What about the food pyramid...spam and tuna are all very well, but what about milk and fruit and vegetables? Condiments, oil, eggs, cheese...what would happen if you had no fridge? No supermarket? No restaurant?
