It sure does not hurt anything to be ready, BUT...

I just don't see a likely future where some apocalypse make survival a challenge. Zombies are just make believe, like unicorns and bigfoot. We might have small earthquake, but not like a California level massive quake that collapses bridges and buildings. You and I are absolutely safe from a Hurricane or a Tsunami. We might have a grass fire but a forest fire requires a forest and we have a lot of trees, but no forest.

The only threat I can even imagine is some civil riot, and in Oklahoma the police do indeed keep the peace. Several people are awaiting trial on domestic terrorism charges after a small riot attempted a Portland style riot. It was stopped.

A meteor strike is possible, but very unlikely.

The two F5 tornadoes that hit Moore, OK cause localized mega damage, but just 6 blocks from the path was 100% civilization. Electricity and water and food and shelter.
