CMV: America is woefully unprepared for a major disaster

Examples include an invasion by a foreign country, civil war, nuclear attack, running out of fossil fuels, EMP blast, severe worldwide drought, asteroid strike or a massive volcanic eruption like the entirety of Yellowstone national park erupting.

Surviving the event itself will be easier than surviving the days, weeks, months and years afterward.

If all things electric shutdown because of an EMP blast including semi trucks, there goes 99% of the food supply for major cities. If the EMP goes off in the winter, many northern cities will see millions of people freeze to death in the cold. So, now everyone rushes to the supermarket to raid for food and those are scenes of major bloodbath and murders. Even if you have food and water storage, you may be dozens of miles away from land that can produce food through fishing, hunting or farming in the long term and that journey into the countryside may be more risky than what it is worth

At this point, horse drawn carriages will become a necessity and we don't have too much of those right now.

Meanwhile, the Amish are not as severely effected by this disaster as they are MUCH more self reliant than the average American. It might be a great idea for the federal government to consult with the Amish on an American disaster plan.

The beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we saw people fist fighting over toilet paper... imagine when people start fighting over food...

Who has the power to credibly project any kind of significant conventional force onto American soil? No other country could invade, let alone try to establish a beachhead, and not be instantly  destroyed by American forces present in the continental United States. Any country that tried this would promptly be wiped off the map afterwards as well.

The only two neighbors bordering the US certainly don't have the capability either.

The only thing the United States isn't "prepared" for would be a full out nuclear attack from a country like Russia and maybe China. Then the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction kicks in though, and you are  left with no winners. The only way to be "ready" for a situation like that is to have retaliation capacity, which the US has in spades, with a nuclear submarine fleet.
