Not until scared hungry people hear it or smell it. Those people will assume, not unreasonably, that you are also well stocked with food and water and they will come and take it.
No doubt you'll manage to pop a few caps in their asses but before the day is out you and your family will likely be dead.
A better idea would be stay in the cellar with a few candles eating you stockpile of food and wait till the power returns.
We will know about maurading hordes long before they get to us.....
They don't stand a chance.

Besides - we aren't worried about the end of the world. Just the frequent power outages.... I would give it a 40% chance we will lose commercial power in the next 48 hours.
We have high wind warnings.... That frequently does it - trees into the power lines...
