What if this had been a biological attack on major metropolitan areas and transportation hubs instead of a natural occurrence? No difference. Everyone knows the Feds can't get relief into place fast enough from experience with previous disasters. It comes down to local and individual preparedness.

That's why it's BYOG(guns), A(ammo), PG(protective gear), W(water), F(food), ... BYOEverything; or, BYEBYE! It's simply not irrational these days to be prepared if one has the means.
