Being prepared is always wise. I myself would stock up on non perishable foods, medicine, cash, etc etc. Almost like you would for a hurricane, but for a longer period of time. Would love to have a ham radio.

Hopefully this would never happen, I'm too old to survive long....LOL....

THE MODERN SURVIVAL MANUAL: SURVIVING THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
Fernando Aguirre, author

I agree with your second paragraph. We always have cases of tall bottles of Poland Springs water......would increase that in Florida. Ditto, agree with your suggestion re cash. Cash is king. People wouldn't be able to access their bank savings accounts or use their credit cards. Cash is necessary.

Also, if possible, those who live near the ocean would be better off as they could at least fish.......even without a boat.
If they didn't live in a planned community, but in a normal house with their own land, they could garden for veggies, etc. and somehow exist...........not luxury meals but food.......seafood and veggies. Fruit trees would help out as well.

p.s My husband said we would freeze to death in Vermont. It has been a harsh winter, the worst we've ever encountered. At our age, chopping and stockpiling wood would not be an option.........perhaps a pellet stove, but even that is a daunting task.........with all the hills and uneven terrain just on one's own property, people would be better off in Florida..........perhaps with an ocean breeze?
