So lets make this real simple here comes another disaster not as big as Katrina or Sandy may be like the tornadoes that took out dozen of smaller midwest towns in the last few years. What if the roads or freeways had a lot of accidents as well and your car was trapped in one of those? Or the roads around where you work are closed? Want to get home or at least some place friendly and safer? Out of the riot? Do you have the following in place? Sure this is easy and cheap to build now - IMPOSSIBLE to build then!!!!
