In Michigan we had a bad storm with high winds this summer knocked out power for more than 300,000 houses / small businesses. The utility companies restored about 100,000 of those per day, but some people were out of power for 3 full days. It does make sense, even small steps to prepare in advance can make those events much easier to deal with.
This fire season in California we've prepared to evacuate 3 times and evacuated once. We have a tiny 13ft trailer that is fully self contained and stocked with basics. I grab our bin of important documents and the pets and go to a nearby lake campground. We live in a rural mountain community that, in an earthquake situation, could be cut off from supply lines so a full pantry, generator, and plenty of propane and firewood are always on hand. The only thing we haven't invested in -yet - is solar for the trailer and house.
Live by major source of water (✔️). Have two weeks of stored food (✔️). Have serious solar panels (✔️). Tools/equipment to support full on camping(✔️). Guns, lots of guns and ammo, so you can “get” whatever you need [in a zero guns country, but I got mine] hahahah (✔️)

Very, very good show. Thank You. I'm fine. Non Preppers needed to hear it.
