I have family that are 'preppers' but they aren't so much anti-government wacko's as they are government employees in the PNW that have seen the reports of what happens if 'the big one' comes (the Cascadia subduction zone)and how many bridges/airports will collapse. My little county did a study, and found they would become a dozen 'islands' because of how many bridges over rivers/large streams would collapse.

I keep about two weeks worth of supplies (food, water, wool blankets, etc) around, because its going to take a long time for federal assistance to arrive.
