I agree. So, as a community we have to better educate those we come into contact with and encourage. Prepping, in my mind and for my purposes, is aimed more at the natural disaster aspect of having enough food, water, and so on. Yes, we also prepare for the roadside and workplace emergency. I believe the focus is more about non-fantastic and non-phantasm types of events.
