Ok, first post but have been lurking for a long time. I was watching a show on Nat Geo the other night about "Preparers". Basically it documented how different family units have prepared for survival when society breaks down. Some scenarios were coronal mass ejections from the sun, hyper inflation, etc.

I live in the suburbs of a large metro area. here is my list of threats I believe I am most likely to encounter. Each one presents it's own challenges and ways to survive. I am trying to plan, prepare, and train with the family for each of the following.

1. Severe Weather/Fire
2. Economic Collapse (market crash)
3. Power grid failure
4. Flash Mob/Terrorism
5. Virus/Super bug

My question to the masses is... If you had to rank order your 5 most likely scenarios where there is a complete break down of society what would it be?
