Cities are great places for convenience and culture, but in any kind of a crisis -- food shortage, power grid failure, natural disaster, etc. -- cities are very dangerous places to find yourself.
People who live in cities are, almost by definition, not self-reliant. They have few redundancies and are therefore highly vulnerable to disruptions in key infrastructure.
That's why I've assembled a quick list of the top 15 ways to know when you're...
