MODERATORS
You should actually always be prepared for things like that. My government says people should keep enough things for two weeks, just in case. It's good advice. You never know when some manic dictator launches a multi-front blitzkrieg he can't win, but will devastate the whole region
What's the logic in two weeks of provisions? Day 15 sounds like it would be just as much of a shit show as days 1-14.
Just holding out until more organised help can arrive or your government takes over. This is also in general good advice in case of say natural disasters. Roads may be flooded, areas covered in snow or electricity is out for a few days. Having enough canned food, water, maybe some firewood or alternative means of cooking will come in useful in these circumstances.
