I hear about emergency preparation in certain countries like the UK or Japan (as they anticipate either a incoming cyberattack or another Iranian conflict) in case things end up becoming as if its the rapture all of a sudden. However, the weird thing is that neither are discussed openly on MSM or shown on the top feed of social media (perhaps due to censorship or hate being called out for fearmongering).

There have been cyber attacks spoiling food in shops by changing freezer temperature. Maybe that has prompted it.

But here in California, it's standard practice to have supplies in. I have gallons of water, tins of food plus long-life emergency food bars. Also a small solar panel and battery packs.

There could be a bad earthquake, or even the Cascadia Subduction Zone could slip.

oh btw california has about 40 million people but only produces enough calories for about 10 - 20 million people.
