Having been in a survival situation, I can tell you that none of than happened. Mostly just selfishness and nightly gun fire. Better advice: Canned food, bottled water, battery powered lanterns, radio and good book. if you can afford it, some way to solar charge the lantern and radio and cellphone. Generators are really noisy and attract attention. I didn't have power for 2 weeks and the roads were blocked with fallen trees.

Slightly unrelated but a good place to plug my recent hobby. Meshtastic. set up a node and coordinate with friends to connect the whole area.

Not only it is a secure clandestine chat network. it will work when the networks are down, allowing you to coordinate with everyone. Give them a battery/solar and they will work no matter what, electric grid down, you can still coordinate.

I am currently working with local action groups to get the whole city connected
