Can you survive one month without any outside support? Then you are a prepper says this article

24. I'm in hurricane country

About 10 miles from the coast on 6.5 acres. We’re set up pretty well, always have enough food and fuel on hand to make it at least a month, probably two, with no utilities. Have a generator that will power the whole house including AC, two smaller generators if we just need minimal power at times like to run the freezers a few hours a day or just a small portable AC in one room. Have a shallow hand pump well and can purify water from that if needed without electricity. Have a septic system so sewer service isn’t an issue.

I do want to get a solar system with battery storage at some point, would be much less dependent on the gas generators. Also need to be better about having extra dog food on hand, I let that dwindle down pretty often but she could always just eat people food for a bit in a pinch.

Been also kicking around Starlink internet because the Xfinity cable internet here has gone out during hurricanes here in the past since the lines are overhead on the power poles.

Nothing wrong with being prepared and just being in the habit of rotating and replenishing your stockpile of food and fuel.
