I hoard phonebooks for this scenario.



But seriously... the way the government is seemingly "cutting back on spending" so drastically... it is either government economic collapse, or pandemic, which I hope to just be lucky.

Internet outage.

Actually, serious weather events, mostly tornado or blizzard, given where I live.

^^^This mid to long term.

TP is very high priority on the list.

I also stock up on pine shavings and 10 gallon trash bags to put in the toilet bucket.

Just a thought as well... If you suddenly had no water out of the tap... do you know of any place to get water in your neighborhood to filter/render safe to drink????

when you are driving to/from work... take mental note of the running streams and if they are full of water at different times of the year.

Also, cattails are great sources of food. ;-)

Your hot water and toilet tanks, I have a non-potable well and lake is .4 mi from the house.

economic collapse and earthquake.

Nothing specific about the earthquake scenario, other than I wear a BOB to and from work. I should have resources with me to make it home on foot. (bridges collapsed, roads broken, fires and riots, so on)

Bad weather. Tainted water system.
