Here is the problem as I see it on the West Coast.
After the big quake, millions of people are going to try to move out the the cities along the coast. Freeways will be clogged, no gasoline, no food, no water but they are moving anyway because they have no options other than famine and epidemic. In the end they will be walking along the freeway and dying in droves.
They are moving with an ill-defined goal and misconceptions. The goal is somewhere in the country, maybe where they camped once or where there is a small town they visited or maybe even people they kinda know. The misconception is that they will be taken care of at this goal.
Nobody, no community, no campground, no riverbed can support millions of refugees. You refugees are unwanted at this point. Remember the bridge incident leading out of New Orleans during Katrina? That is the situation.
What I am saying is the problem for most people in California outside the zone of destruction will be a tidal wave of people gobbling up the few existing resources as well as the resources YOU have set aside for you and your family and perhaps close friends.
So the reason I am writing this is I am not sure people in the cities, aware of prepping and survival as they might be, understand they need to have and existing bug out location belonging to them and to them alone in order to survive.
