I'm not talking natural disaster preparedness - we have our hurricane supplies and all related stuff ready and waiting, and we are serious about our disaster plans and supplies.
I was speaking more about the "preppers" who spend a great deal of time and money preparing more for the collapse of society than for a natural disaster. So much so that they alter their lifestyle to the point that "prepping" becomes their primary activity in life. That is the nature of my former employer's activities - preparing for "the end." About the only thing he hasn't done is move to one of the "redoubt" states...
