The term prepping can be applied on several levels and means a different thing to different people. From an US American context with broader landscapes, sparse population and fragile delivery routes, to Europan countries with dense population where help seems to be nearby in hours.

Each individual needs to assess their situation and the personal risks for themselves. As a result of that risk assessment people should come up with plans and prepare their techniques and environment accordingly. 
Always having in mind that these topics can lead to a rabbit hole everyone has to decide about the sane and proper level of preparedness. Some might be fine with a bottle of water and a blanket in their car, others might want to prep a whole Get Home Bag to make it through more challenging terrain.

In this post we try to collect some information on where to get started.

        Thanks for letting me know about cross posting! I welcome the same.

        My biggest goal in creating coms on my instance is to decentralize, as lemmy should be, and to have administrative control against downright rude people who have kept their reddit-attitudes.

        After that, I created prepping because I find it increasingly important for everyday situations and fun to think about :) I’m sorry I don’t think I have specific goals beyond that but I’m thankful you shared all of these communities regardless of age! I will post more.
