[EAS] Preparedness and Survival Generalities

[Mike McCarthy]

If anything, being urbanized desensitizes the reality they need to be as
well, if not more prepared than their rural brethren who by their very
nature tend to stock more staples and supplies than space constrained
urbanites and suburbanites. Especially those in apartments and condo's.
Never mind the sustaining efforts needed to survive are more acute on a
more massive scale in a densely developed area. However, the response may
not meet that need and it might be everyone for themselves for a period of
time.

In an emergency, everyone (be it solo or family unit) is an individualist.
They are humans without connotation of origination.
