Welcome!

To tell the truth, I think women are a little better mentally set up to deal with some of this stuff. The guys are more interested in gear! You can do it!

Shelter
Fire
Water
Food
First Aid

Just start with the basics and keep going. Don't be afraid to ask questions. There ARE no stupid questions!

Identify what problems you are most likely to face where you live, and then work on how to deal with them.

If you think it might be likely that you would have to go to a shelter, why not start with that? A couple of carryable totes with lids with what you think the four of you would need for a stay in a Red Cross shelter. Then branch out to sheltering at home and in your car, or at a friend's or relative's place.

Even thinking that something could happen is farther than most Americans will plan ahead. You'll do fine.
