I wish I knew more of my neighbors, like in the old school block party and PTA kind of way. Most of us are just in & out on our way somewhere else. I got involved in my city's CERT mostly just to meet people. Because my safety is less dependent on my own preparation than it is on that of my neighbors. It doesn't matter if I can last three days or ten without power, gas, water, police & EMS if my neighbors are just going to riot and burn the place down on day two.
