"Interesting that the Australian government's "Pantry List" recommends 14-day supply. The U.S. ready.gov emphasizes 72 hours, though it notes that services could be off longer."

Our government doesn't want to scare off the people who won't even prepare a 3-day supply. A 2-week supply seems to be beyond many Americans' comprehension.

When I was working at the casino, our area was currently having flood problems. I asked my coworkers if they had made any preps for flooding, being marooned, evacuating, etc. All of them shook their heads, and two said they would just sit back and wait for the government to bring supplies.
