This is a very important point. Don't assume because all is rosy now that in a hardcore grid-down situation that "non-natives" will be quite so welcome. Unless there is something stronger than perceived "kinship" binding you into a community - for example, shared strong religious convictions - there will always be a heightened risk of rejection / victimisation of outsiders in a deep crisis, regardless of howl ong they have been living in an area.
