Do they know?

[Tibbs735]

Do your friends and family know that you are making preparations?
If yes, are they also preparing or are they choosing not to?
Can you imagine them knocking on your door to ask for help, maybe taking it by force out of desperation or hinting to the mob about the "greedy hoarder who isn't giving his fair share" when times are hard.
In a scenario when not many are left, like a pandemic, I can imagine this not being a major issue, if it strikes quickly enough.
However if something like hyperinflation or a solar flare happens, unless you have bugged out quickly enough or have maintained OPSEC, how would you deal with this?
