Interesting question! For me, climate change is a major unknown, and the patterns of the past no longer fit. Neither do the creatures: I have geckos living on my porch, and they are not native to my area (AR). We had to deal with a deep winter freeze that broke major water mains in Little Rock, and froze folks in for over a week. Our homes aren’t insulated for that kind of thing. The pandemic was like a practice run on how to cope with crazy, shifting logistics. I am glad that I have a decent pantry with a backstock of things that people tend to hoard (TP, food staples). I’d like to be part of a local community that promotes disaster preparedness without all the paranoia, because I feel that everyone should at least have a preparedness mindset.

I am sure all the curious newbs (like me) did a number on your site because of that report. It’s good to find a level-headed site where I can talk about and work on my own preparedness.
