WTGW is more likely the case

The difference between SHTF and WTGW is with When things go wrong is it is more localized disaster like flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, volcanic eruption, Sunami. As you can see there are a lot of WTGW happening and the preparation for dealing with those should be your first preparations. SHTF scenario. Certain things to keep in mind for your survival and knowing your terrain is key to how you do things. Then you need to have plans, more than one because if it can go wrong, it will. If you know what problems, you will most likely encounter you can plan for those and be prepared.
As the West Coast now has a Sunami alert coming out tonight places along this area are paying attention to any warnings that may come through the night. I live by a volcano and if it was to erupt my options are limited. Main and minor accesses around where I live will be blocked and destroyed. I do not have to worry about tornadoes but, the wind can blow over these big 150-foot evergreens over.
Make sure you are ready for WTGW just like making sure you have a spare tire with air in it before you go on a road trip. You will see more WTGW than the chance of SHTF but with your WTGW you have a step towards SHTF.
I just want to say, y’all need to have some WTGW prep for whatever comes your way.

What are some things that you might do to be ready for WTGW?

Those two categories are not unrelated. History (including recent history) has been that When The World Goes Wrong, Stuff Hits the Fan immediately after. It starts with looters moving into the damage zones, and is followed by area and regional shortages of essential resources. Your plans must account for both together.

We are within 5 miles of this. Thinking probably not a destination for looters if things go sideways. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Not the complex itself, but definitely the surrounding area if there is a forced evacuation.

That I totally agree but, with WTGW there are other places unaffected while when SHTF happens everywhere is affected and the idea of finding a better place to be is key.
