My community chose to make itself self sufficient almost 90 years ago. Dallas rejected us so we have our own waste water/fire/police/services. Not quite what you're going for, but as close as I'm likely to get for a while. Thanks for the things to consider. <a href="http://katemckeon.com" rel="nofollow">Pushing companies from good to great</a>, Kate Despite the hassles of living in a city, the benefit is if anything is going to get turned back on, it will be in the city . . . well, in the highest tax area of the city.

You are right of course we need at least a month, preferably six. This could be done by rotating the supplies so we use the oldest first. The things I think our family would miss most would be rice and bread because we go through those fastest.

I am even worse than waiting for the light to come on to get gas now that we have that little digital gage that tells me how many miles I have left before I run out of gas... Good advice and looking forward to more. I always picture those traffic jams you see in the movies where everyone tries to get out at the same time and therefore everyone is stuck together...and doomed. Perhpas we all need motorcycles? :-) Jen B <a href="http://www.theharwoodcenter.com" rel="nofollow">The Harwood Center - Tinnitus, Chronic Illness, Fears, and Anxiety</a> You have really made me think.

This is a good topic. It's a bit unnerving to consider what things would be like if all of our comforts were for some reason unavailable. A question that comes to mind, though, is where should we store all of this stuff? In a garage, or a basement, or a crawl space (if the house doesn't have a basement), or somewhere else? <a href="http://www.darrylpace.com" rel="nofollow">Health, Fitness for Working People -- Darryl Pace</a> Wow.
