We've already HAD "SHTF" situations in the USA, in many places, at many times, and the response has always been for Americans to come out and help.


I come to this forum for tips on being self-sufficient. If it turns out that others help out in a disaster, then that's a bonus.

Since you brought up real scenarios, we should analyze the Katrina hurricane and the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. In those situations, the people who were entirely dependent on others were in bad shape. Also, in California, there were some pretty bad fires a couple years ago. The government seemed to be well prepared, but what if the government wasn't? Then, many people would have been stranded and desperate, which would have lead to unrest or worse...
