I'll absolutely ignore the next pandemic and likely be one of the first victims. Our disaster situations around here are focused on Hurricanes. I've experienced a major hurricane before and the aftermath as well as myriad smaller storms over the years. All of my preparation is storm focused and would have to be modified to serve in another disaster.

If there is a national disaster that severely interrupts supply chains, I would expect that the government- be it federal or state- would prioritize delivering essential medications to the public.

If the problem is with China, war or disaster, meds might become impossible to obtain for extended period of time.

Read the book “One Second After” for a very well thought out scenario regarding a complete collapse of society in the aftermath of an EMP.

I would not count on the Government at any level to deliver meds in the event of a major disaster.

For example - look at Katrina and NOLA/Biloxi.

Im staying put at least until I need to move out. I have well water, all my food and ammo is here, I cant carry it all. If everyone decides to bug out then what's the point? It'll be like going to some campground. There is deer if I need to shoot one.
