On the verge of collapse
A city is a living breathing thing. Traffic, Water, Sewage, Rails, Emergency Services, and more.
But what happens when a few or all of these services stop? The city becomes vulnerable. Each and every life form inside the city is fighting to survive, though it's host is dying.
You may be prepared with your stash of food and supplies, but most people are not. Let's face it, there will be a riot. Will that riot spill on to your property?
Riots fan out away from the city and into neighborhoods as supplies are depleted. Some beg. Can you afford to help them? Some trade. Do you have items you can spare to trade for something you need? How do you protect your own supplies from those who just want to use force?
Fires break out, earthquakes, tornadoes, and weather are still on the table. Mother nature won't give you a break.
Best case scenario, you get out of the city. A lot of others will be doing that too. If that becomes impossible you should be prepared to live on your own, in your own home. Protected. So how do we do this?
There is no answer to this question. There are only a series of precautions you can take to make this dynamic and volatile situation better for you. Anyone in an apartment is at a huge disadvantage. Anyone who has a yard and a fence is a lucky person if they can defend it.
How would you handle this situation?
What would you need?
