The one thing that I and my family will avoid at all costs is becoming refugees. Refugees are totally at the mercy of people stronger and/or better armed than they are. If you take the time to read up on what happens to refugees during wartime or after a natural disaster, you'll find out that this is not a situation in which you want to find yourself. Best plan IMHO is to hunker down either at home or with close relatives/friends close to home for a while.
I suspect that with today's communications and the internet, we'll have little to no warning when the shoe drops, unlike in past collapses when the banks were open and food store were stocked for two days or so after things fell apart.
