I'd be moving to the country to eat a lot of peaches.

There is more than enough land in the US for everyone to get a little plot and build shelter/grow a garden.
Being that we are a race full of mongering idiots... I'd rather a natural disaster just kill us all off in one big bang than have to defend my little girls every day from pieces of shit. |

If you look at history, at least relatively recent history, the trouble is in the cities. Look at New Orleans with Katrina, or the storm that hit the east coast recently. There was damage and power outages for hundreds of miles inland in both cases. The difference was that there was a social structure in neighborhoods whereby people helped each other out, but in the inner cities, it was every man for himself.
I really think that most disasters are going to be local or regional in nature, whether it be earthquake, hurricane, etc. These local disasters won't overwhelm the government and although there will always be looting and rioting, it'll be containable. If the disaster is more than just regional, such as an asteroid strike, or a supervolcano, then it wont really matter, because people that aren't fairly prepared for such an event aren't going to make it. |

I'd load my family and guns/ammo in my truck and head off for my parents' place a couple hours away. It's rural so it would be overlooked for the most part, but near a small community that looks out for each other. With water, wood, some wild game, a garden and family, we'd last for a while.
