>society can make a comeback from pretty much any conceivable catastrophy

I agree. Where disaster preparation matters is in that period between "catastrophe" and "recovery". How long before things are normal again? Is that period a week? A month? A year? How bad will it get in between? That's what you need to survive.

"Things get normal again" only if people come out of their bunkers and put away the gun and pick up a shovel and a hammer instead. Build huts, clear the debris and plant seeds, not take the remaining fuel for the helicopter.

If this concept is not clear anymore after too many seasons of Walking Dead then I don't know.
