It's certainly a good idea to do some preparation to be able to take care of yourself and your family in a serious emergency.  Without any government help, how long would you be able to survive without power, water, food, and medical supplies?  How long would you be able to protect yourself?  Do you have anything worth bartering (such as extra medical supplies or addictive substances such as alcohol)?  Do you have good negotiating skills that will enable you to survive in a barter economy?  Do you have some nearby friends or neighbors you could trust?  This is a personal, decent introduction into thinking about staying alive for a while in an emergency.
