Real community preparedness for the new reality

Disaster preparedness isn't about how many freeze-dried buffalo chips you can cram into your basement --- it's about building community so that, when the "life as we know it" starts to look a lot less like TV advertisements and a lot more like the post-USSR Russia (inconsistent utilities, shortages, decayed infrastructure), you have a solid core of people who are already used to working together for the good of the group.
