We keep canned food, water, sterno to cook with. We can live without power. We had power go out for about four hours last month, and that's when I went out and laterns. We'll live.
But I won't be running to the store last minute to buy stuff.
My point is.... People need to be more prepared. No matter where you live something can happen. Hurricane, earthquake, a dam you never heard of failing, a propane train fire... Eventually some day you might need to be required to shelter in place or evacuate. My household is prepared for both. These people who live in hurricane zones know it's coming - if not this year, then next year, or the year after that. My lord.... Make a list of what you might need and start stocking up.
People are just lazy.
