^Yes, this.^
I'm amazed how many people I have known over the years who refuse to heed the simple, common-sense advice to have an adequate emergency supply of water, non-perishable food, fuel/power sources that don't rely on the grid or gas stations, battery-powered radios/transmitters, and a basic supply of tools (including weapons/ammo for self defense) in the event of a major disaster. You don't have to be some survivalist nut job to understand that, sophisticated as our technological society is, it hangs by a proverbial thread and can be severely disrupted by forces entirely beyond our control.
Take care to make adequate preparations, and then don't lose sleep over it.
