Technically just having a preparation in place for fires or earthquakes does make you a prepper. There may be varying degrees of it, but prepping for natural disasters is actually a much larger section of preppers than "zombies" or whatever bullshit. Hurricanes too in those areas is another common one, and you'd be surprised how many people carry and IFAK just in case of a car crash or shooter.

But any way you slice it, building firebreaks, storing food and water, and forming a microgrid, those are some good preparations my prepper friend.
