In my community, there seem to be a fair number of people concerned about war with Iran, and engaging in preparedness efforts as a result.
Are you doing anything special for this, or other potential emergencies in your area?
I decided to go on a "war footing" last week, which in my case is identical to my response plans for a large winter storm, one of which is "likely" for later this coming week: made sure I have enough firewood handy, batteries charged, at least 1/2 a tank of gas in all the vehicles, that sort of thing. Nothing special.
I was surprised however about the newcomers to my community, who seemed unaware that our County emergency management agency issues guidelines for just normal run-of-the-mill non-warfare preparedness for those of us who choose to live in this remote spot. Some of the new folks seem to think everyone else will help them when the lights go out (which they did for a couple of hours yesterday due to high winds).
