Getting out ahead of time

If it's a small scale, more local event that's likely to explode and then die down then yes, lock up tight and go visit granny for a week or so. If it's more likely to go regional or bigger then are you better off by staying put with all your preps in an area you know? You don't want to jump out of the frying pan into the firestorm.
