I’ve been pondering this question for two weeks now, living in one of the largest metropolitan cities in the US. While it’d be much easier logistically just to stay put where I’m familiar, I’m concerned how quickly things can turn if there’s a supply chain disruption, especially when most people probably have at most 3 days of food on hand and no supplies. And also infection rates in large cities with close proximity.

We can go back to family in Canada (but they haven’t stopped flights and I’m concerned how hard they’ll be hit... though it sounds like they may be a lot more prepared medically), or temporarily move to rural areas in another state with our savings (which isa bit painful, but if the danger is real it makes sense).

The concern with leaving to another location aside from cost, trouble with relocating... is the lack of familiarity (and gun ownership), and if that may put us in more danger than the city.

Would be curious to get everyone’s thoughts/advice, also any first/secondhand experiences living through SHTF scenarios?

Should also mention I’m Asian. Sort of complicated things that I might trigger fear where I go... a full coverage gas mask may come in handy lol
