I'm posting this here bc TK really does run the gamut on all sorts of demographics. People of all walks of life and different experiences post here so here goes:
Just how "prepared" are most people for emergencies? I'm not by any means in an Ebola panic or anything but I did marry a pretty damn prepared guy. Not National-Geo-is-coming-over-to-put-us-on-their-"Doomsday Preppers'-show-or-anything level prepared, but yea, in the face of many types of emergencies, we're covered to a fair degree.
Some days I feel a little crazy for being that way. Then things happen like Super Storm Sandy, massive unexpected 100-year floods, power outages, out of control wildfires, riots in American cities, etc., and I feel like it makes good sense.
Are we in a minority or are more and more everyday people becoming more prepared for emergencies than at other times in the past?
