We’re preparing for scenarios that have historically happened in my area: Ice storms (1991, 2003), wind storms (2017), snow measured in feet (most was in 1999, but happens yearly), regional blackout (2003), major civil unrest (riots in 1960s). We can handle snow, but when it gets blizzard conditions, and the plows can’t keep up that’s when schools and businesses tend to close.
I’m also concerned about pandemics, an EMP, and God forbid a nuclear event.
Recently protests have been occurring up but they are mostly contained by police. The majority of the protests have been peaceful but there’s always a few idiots who will try to block the road.
