Preparing is what I've been about for 20 years now. Preparing for all-hazards, including civil unrest, terrorism, tornadoes, earthquake, flood, winter storms, etc. is 1/4 of the emergency management agenda. The other three are mitigation, response, and recovery.
The subject here is Jericho. While I don't think we need to watch TV and use the guidance there as the way it should be, the TV show Jericho, IMO, painted a pretty good estimate of the way things would be, IF, as in the case of MEGA SHTF happens.
Unlike your reasoning, I suspect there will be governance in America, just as there was governance in Jericho.
ALL disasters start locally. Governance in Jericho was local.
Will there be an event like Jericho disrupt the entire United States of America? While I pray there is not, as you so aptly put, now is the time to prepare.
Will there be Federal Emergency Management Agency concentration camps? You can believe that, if you wish. I know I have observed evacuation centers run by the State. Those receive evacuees from the Gulf Coast. The guests, as we call them in Oklahoma, were free to leave from the moment they got here. Some chose to stay longer than others. A very few chose the County jail for their next change of address.
If FEMA is not to prepare for
Mass Care, please tell us who should be doing it. Clearly, from the history we've had, stuff will happen. If the local government can't handle it, that leaves the State. If the State requests FEMA help, sounds like they are planning already.
Case in point, my music minister at the time had to do a term paper on the Church response to Katrina. When he asked the first question, I answered with "That's the wrong question. You should have asked, was the Church prepared to minister at Katrina."
While Holy Spirit driven folks were doing great stuff following Katrina, they were not prepared for the mission. I have had a good number of ministers agree with that assessment.
From the tone of your response, it sounds like you don't trust government. I guess the only thing I can say to that is "Why do you keep voting for them?"
As the program Jericho pointed out, there will be governing in America following the event. Some of the governing will be good. Some will be bad. I am planning for good government.
