How prepared are you for an emergency?
Just wondering what each persons level of general preparedness is? I know lots of time before a storm seems like people wipe out the store shelves. Just wondering how people think in terms of having near to zero food/water in their pantry for any natural or man made disaster.

Every autumn, when I go to the market weekly, I always pick up an extra can of soup, tuna, bag of rice,etc. Then come winder if a storm comes, I have a full larder and don't have tomake a dash to the supermarket, as everyone else is. As to terrorist attacks, I have a pocket in my back pack where I have $1000 case, small bills, and a week's worth of my pills. Always have a bottle of water and a power bar inthere. If I have a little more timeto get out of the area, I would head to my job or back home. Both places have preprepared boogie bags, with more of the same, water, food, rain slicker, and a big old knife.

Slightly. I have enough food, water & fuel to last a month, 'enough' time to scavenge and come up with contingencies.

I have a year's supply of food on hand, plenty of bottled water, water treatment products, outdoor clothing, camping and survival gear. I have lots of camping gear including a hand crank radio/charging unit and even winter survival gear, snowshoes and skis. And I'm physically fit and know how to live without modern conveniences (that's an important part of being prepared). I'm basically ready for anything, in any weather (I could bug in or bug out) but I suspect that I'm the exception rather than the rule. I don't want anything to happen, I'd rather stay put and have my internet connection and my store bought groceries and my nice comfortable life but I'm ready as I can be if and when the crap hits the spinny thing.
