First, a little background.. We prep. We are in a hurricane area so my risk/impact/likihood is hurricanes and that's what we prepare for. The next is financial collapse. My wife and I were going through a few scenarios and I asked her "what would you do if you woke up tomorrow and there was no power... Nada, period..
I got a blanks stare then she started with things that would require energy.. I said nope.. No energy, no electric, no cars or truck or phones, none. No electric at all. She asked how long.. A few days like a hurricane? I told her at least a year. That started a very different conversation and included the causes from an EMP to a solar flare.
We plan based upon risk.. Likelihood and impact. Obviously hurricanes are high for us, EMP is low but impact is off the charts.
So to open the conversation, how do you prepare based on risk or do you? What thought process do you go through since you can't prepare for everything? What are your scenarios?
