well the war in iran seems inevitable and trump will probably strike after the markets close on friday. so what can i do to best prepare me and family for this? i already have around two weeks of canned food stocked up but besides that i have no other emergency supplies. if there are any protocols or useful handbooks i would appreciate it if you shared them. if you have experience in this type of situation i would be glad to hear from you as well.

that's it i suppose. wish you all the very best.

EDIT: removed the terrible joke because it's sort of a serious post. also thanks for all the answers in advance sorry if i can't reply to all of them

Do a "dry run" of getting by without the electric grid or running water or phone service or petroleum filling stations, maybe camping out in a tent or car if mobility is part of your plans. If there are any other characteristics, practice what your response to those would be as well.

It really helps in the moment to not be doing something for the first time.
