#3 Shelter in place. "Evacuation" defeats the ultimate goal of urban clustering.

#4 Potable water, dried food and some way to cook it. I have over a month's supply of canned good and dried goods. Start from there...

#6 I wonder if electric suppliers to EVs will be accused of price gauging like the airlines and oil companies whenever there's an "emergency" declared by the [federal] government (whether the emergency actually occurs or not).

#10 You really want to evacuate these people. Alot of what we are dealing with here in Atlanta and I'm sure other southern cities is what was evacuated out of New Orleans after Katrina. Those people and their offspring.
