I don't think that is asking too much.
I live in the midwest and we don't often get much warning of impending weather related disasters. Tornadoes do not give you much time if you are in their path.
A few years ago we had a freak storm that went through that cut a wide path across a pretty large area. The storm produced 100mph straight line winds and took out the power for about a week. No warning, no time. I was in decent shape because I had gas hot water heater and I always have plenty of batteries around, and we were lucky in that the time of year was neither really hot nor really cold so temps weren't an issue. I also had insurance to take care of the pesky tree that decided it wanted to visit my son's bedroom and the damage that entailed.

Am I asking too much, or expecting too much of people to do this? I know there's a Bell curve, but I thought the majority of people had enough sense to know what their essential needs are when power, water, and communications are not available. … maybe I'm wrong?
