I am planning on being away from here long before I might have to deal with this, but if I were to get stuck at home in the BURBS..

I am going to guess that people are going to flee from areas adjacent to those that are being 'hit' to areas they perceive as 'safe'. Which if my area is considered 'safe' it will likely have an influx of refugees from other areas who are going to be foraging, especially if FEMA doesn't have a feed lot set up.

The most immediate threat is neighbors and the city councilman down the street with big ambitions. None of which are friends and I would not share food with them. In the short term the keeping a low profile and playing dumb might be the best tactic with these folks.


If it is a collapse and mass chaos none of my friends are likely to travel to my house. If phones are working the most I might get is a call about what is going on, what to do and I would probably get an invite to come over with my stuff.....which again brings up the question of what assets do they have, do I want to share mine, or risk moving and do I want to be around these people for a period of time.

But if one of them and their family show up as you described in the short term, considering refugees and neighbors... it is another set of ears, eyes and a trigger finger, but long term they would have to be a provider as well and in the city that will be an ugly task..
