+1 to everything that benjammin said above; I could not have said it better.
Unfortunately, it appears that those of us who try to prepare for emergency/crisis situations are a small minority. I don't think any of us would enjoy seeing others suffer; but the most prudent course of action seems to be keeping your preparations as private and confidential as possible.
I think PERSONAL RESPONSIBLITY seems to be more lacking in our society every day; and that's a shame.
I would certainly try to assist others whenever possible; but, I don't plan on letting my family be victimized by people who had no forethought to make even the most basic preparations.
