I realize the current situation is nothing like a SHTF event (or at least not yet!) but the build-up could be similar, and it's struck me how very public and open the whole thing has been. Instead of just walking past without taking notice, people have suddenly become much, much more interested in their neighbours.

Rule Number One- DON'T TELL YOUR NEIGHBOURS YOU'RE A PREPPER, otherwise they'll come hammering on your basement shelter begging to be let in, as in this Twilight Zone episode-

1- A jolly dinner party, what could go wrong?
2- Radio announcer- "Incoming nuclear missiles, get in your shelters!"
3- "Lemme in!"
4- "We said let us in!"
5- Radio announcer- "Sorry, false alarm"
6- "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
