The Boy Scouts motto is "Be prepared," and that is what I would encourage everyone to strive for at this time. Another motto to embrace would be "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Prepare as best you can for any and every contingency. If you can, get out of the big cities and big urban areas. Rural areas where you can build community is your safest bet.
Prepare for sustained food shortages with long-term food storage. Secure a potable water source. Stock up on medical remedies. Prepare for supply chains of all kinds to fail and stock up accordingly. Transition out of fiat currency, either by spending it on things you'll need in the future, or buying physical gold and silver.
Prepare for energy shortages, rolling blackouts and the complete shut-down of the power grid. Importantly, don't rely on high-tech solutions. Include low-tech manual backups in your preps. If the thought of all of this scares you, remember that taking action is the best remedy. Knowing you're prepared will ease a lot of anxieties. https://articles.mercola.com/s....ites/articles/archiv
