Preparedness isn't all about me, me, me, me! In fact, I know of some preppers who are stocking old wheat buckets with things like a blanket, a flashlight, a few canned goods, etc. to have ready for people in need. That's the kind of attitude that will make the difference between a community that hangs in there together and gets through some hard times and a post-Katrina scenario of violence and looting.

And we have one bedroom set up for them and, if it ever gets that bad, that will be their room. Same for MIL. We even have a spare cane for her.

If the main pair break, the old pair will be better than nothing. Of course, when the new new pair is received, put the old pair in the go-bag and give the old old pair to Lions Club for their vision program.

I would say this all needs to be done without causing a panic in mom. Could she be thinking that you are prepping her because you are planning on leaving but havent told her so just yet? Maybe some drastic changes to the house would be needed in order to enhance the quality of life while anticipating disaster. I agree about planning for the pet thing good greif, if life is lost for hesitation due to the welfare of a dog or cat.. I just hope it's not anyone's I know.
