I was living on a barrier island, (Key Biscayne), during Hurricane Andrew in 1992 so, like you, I know full well the devastation and aftermath of those natural disasters.

We spent several weeks delivering generators, water and moving other agents and their families from their wrecked homes.

Fortunately, I personally didn't encounter the scum that take advantage of such circumstances. Then again, in South FL pretty much everyone is armed so you take your chances.

When my brother and sister in law went through Sandy (up in Howard Beach, NY) there was a lot of looting and mayhem and NYPD had their hands full.

My neighbor (and shooting partner) and I here in the western NC mountains have a mutual assistance pact. If one needs help the other will come running. My other friend and neighbor 100 yards or so up the road is a deputy with the S.O. and is on board with that as well.

We don't welcome trouble but we won't abide it either.

Better to be prepared than the alternative.
