Actually prowling around at night quietly and assessing how things are set up from a security stand point was suggested to me and I find it a reasonable measure of organization , finding things where they should be, not in the way, not out in the rain , not tripping up people , storage is locked and secure , vehicles locked up etc. : )
Some people have bug out locations far away from where they reside. At what level or emergncy would you leave your home.... Urban vs rural. Aging parents.....members of your family in hospital recovering from surgery etc. Oxygen equipment? If you have a tent, pop up camper, truck, car, rv etc....you need some sort of roadway. If your pathway is not there, congested, under water, beside fire, what do you do. Not everyone has an atv, motorcycle or horses for everyone in their group.

I just found this....... I knew about the US, but not about Canada. Tuesday I need to do some diligant phone calling... Anyone in the east know anything?
An electrical grid joint drill simulation is being planned in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Thousands of utility workers, FBI agents, anti-terrorism experts, governmental agencies, and more than 150 private businesses are involved in the November power grid drill.
The downed power grid simulation will reportedly focus on both physical and cyber attacks. The antiquated electrical system in the United States has been one of the most neglected pieces of integral infrastructure.
…..
The disaster drill is being described as a crisis practice unlike anything the real power grid has ever experienced. The GridEX II drill Nov. 13-14 will focus primarily on how governments will react if the electrical grid fails and, for instance, the food supply chain collapses.
…..
This drill is scheduled to begin November 13, 2013. What is not being discussed is how much of the nation will lose power or, since it is a three-nation drill (United States and parts of Canada and Mexico), the entire U.S. will go “offline” so to speak. What we are told is that all food and water transport will stop, business and banking will stop, transportation and shopping will stop, communications will stop, and there will be no heat in homes, schools or places of business. We are also told this will only be a “simulation”. As such, it is best to be prepared one way or another, just in case.
Therefore, everyone will have to decide whether to go to work, whether to send their kids to school or have them possibly locked down, and they will have to decide whether they will have non-perishable foods and water on hand, alternative lighting and heating, medical supplies, etc., for what will likely be ordered sheltering in place.
