for a prepper, the sooner the masses start to die off the better really.

Indeed if there was mass displacement and people needed shelter, the 12 days sounds about right.

How ones area receives it's mains water would probably be a big factor too.

Tonka, the Co-op is the only "supermarket" in the town, the next one is 8 miles away and not everyone here has a car and the bus service is lousy. i believe most people will leave this area if an event happens and go to parents/relatives houses elsewhere, only the oldies will be left and they will start dying when their medication runs out. water in most places down south is electrically pumped through the mains, that would be an issue in the towns, i have started plotting wells and springs in my area.
