Ah, forgot about the good old EMP. Part of my planning includes a faraday cage at home. I haven't thought about one at the office or in my car. May be a good idea to put a cb, and short wave radio at the office. I don't even know if it would work in a vehicle. How would you ground it?

I am asking about both "scenarios that result in the complete breakdown of society, those that are a result of said breakdown."

The reason I pose this question is two fold. One to bring out things I may have missed or forgotten (like the emp) so I can then prepare for the ones i feel actually have a chance in happening. The other is that there is so much crap out there about TEOTWAWKI and I would rather ponder some quasi reality about logical threats. I want to pick the 5 most likely and prep accordingly. I have already done a bunch, but I am far from feeling comfortable.

I doubt there will be a complete breakdown of society. If there is I feel it will most likely be confined to certain areas that are away from my daily routes. Not saying that chaos may spread to my area, but it would take a while for all the other prime targets to be looted before a band of marauders shows up in my neighborhood. I think most threats would be local but could quickly unfold into a national emergency. Enough rambling, any more thoughts?
