I know

2020-04-06 17:34:03 UTC  

Not getting rid of it

2020-04-06 17:34:19 UTC  

But I'd be happy to take recommendations for additions to it

2020-04-06 17:34:25 UTC  

Or replace some shit in it

2020-04-06 17:34:59 UTC  

Take in mind, that this preparedness section is probably for a city goer who doesn't even know the word preparedness

2020-04-06 17:35:05 UTC  

You need to identify what you're wanting to accomplish before assigning the situation a list of items.

2020-04-06 17:35:11 UTC  

Just about anything in there might be fine

2020-04-06 17:35:13 UTC  

Start with that and do it over.

2020-04-06 17:35:40 UTC  

I wanted to create a basic guide, and I did

2020-04-06 17:36:26 UTC  

A basic guide that directs people towards spending their money whimsically on hundreds of cans of food instead of other things might not be as helpful as you think.

2020-04-06 17:36:49 UTC  

I have other sections

2020-04-06 17:37:02 UTC  

Define the scenario before defining the needs.

2020-04-06 17:37:05 UTC  

We're coming up on some severe food shortages

2020-04-06 17:37:05 UTC  

Not the other way around.

2020-04-06 17:37:11 UTC  

That's the scenario

2020-04-06 17:37:23 UTC  

bugging in with my palette of canned food and tarp.

2020-04-06 17:37:26 UTC  

yep

2020-04-06 17:37:36 UTC  

Tarp for rainwater

2020-04-06 17:37:51 UTC  

In a city flat

2020-04-06 17:37:59 UTC  

If they turn water off

2020-04-06 17:38:35 UTC  

The system has no interest in turning off everyone's water and electricity.

2020-04-06 17:38:47 UTC  

They want you returning to normal product consumption as soon as possible.

2020-04-06 17:38:56 UTC  

Right...

2020-04-06 17:39:04 UTC  

Returning to the norm is what the established powers want.

2020-04-06 17:39:10 UTC  

But there's a chance that it does get shut off for other reasons

2020-04-06 17:39:20 UTC  

Civil society breaking down for example

2020-04-06 17:39:34 UTC  

Tell me some reasons the water would get shut off from this current happening.

2020-04-06 17:41:35 UTC  

The water wasn't shutoff in weimar germany during the street fighting.

2020-04-06 17:41:56 UTC  

Be coherent and control your imagination.

2020-04-06 17:42:13 UTC  

Utilities will always be the last things to go down.

2020-04-06 17:42:42 UTC  

They are the priority item for restoration in an outage event above everything else.

2020-04-06 17:43:33 UTC  

There are lots of things you can get and do to be prepared for bad things to come but this is not it.

2020-04-06 17:43:48 UTC  

Improper resource allocation can be as deadly as not having anything.

2020-04-06 18:30:46 UTC  

As much as we can sort of compare to the past, we are dealing with a bunch if new technology in the present that might complicate things. I don't know if electricity powers our water supply as well, but if it does and we have a grid down situation, well that would be bad.

Like you said, the government would prioritize utilities, but if society falls into anarchy for a bit, that might be enough to affect things.

And while I agree that improper resource allocation can be deadly, I imagine a bunch of canned food and a tarp will be a boom, not a liability.
