Weather worldwide will be more and more Haphazard as this century goes on
The problem with this is you never really know when something bad or unusual might happen anywhere on earth.
However, I think enough people will survive all the weather and earthquake events so that the human race will continue. But, we have to expect millions of people not making it for various weather and earthquake and volcano reasons ongoing.
So, preparing for the worst and hoping for the best is how you and your family will survive whatever comes.
Becoming a victim is how you die, preparing for the worst is how you survive whatever comes.
Making a plan to survive the types of calamities in your state or country is really important when things go bad.
For example, in California it's fires and mudslides that kill the most people. It used to be earthquakes more but that hasn't been as much of a problem since about 2000 AD so much. Earthquakes still happen but don't usually kill people as much as they did in the 20th century. However, I suppose this could change on a dime. The other thing we have to watch out for is tsunamis that can come from anywhere in the Pacific ocean like in 2004 and in 2011.
So, every area has its vulnerabilities whatever they are. Preparing for those vulnerabilities keeps you and your family alive.
For example, while I was in Europe on October 14th we had twisters north of Santa Cruz California that tore up a farm pretty good along the coast and dropped enough hail for people to build snowmen (which is a lot of hail folks). So, I restarted my generator because who knows when I might need it this season of weather. Often in January to March we might get 100 mph winds off the ocean which blow down trees and knock out the power where we live on the Northern California Coast. So, it's good to be prepared for winter weather wherever you live on earth.
I have found that a smaller generator (at least for my needs is better) because they seem to last longer and you usually can get them repaired and maintained at a local motorcycle shop where it is the easiest to buy one:
MY generator is the size of these ones which I find easier to deal with than the larger ones. I started out with an ONAN Generator that I had in my motor home so I could plug into from my house and get 110 volts from a 100 foot outdoor cord. Then I bought a bigger one from Orchard supply but couldn't find people to maintain it. Then I bought this one after a lot of problems from the bigger ones and found this served me best. Then I bought a plastic outdoor shed from Ace hardware to keep the rain off it year around. This also prevents Carbon Monoxide poisoning from having it in your house or garage. So, this has worked fine for me. What I find is that I need something for my refrigerator to save 500 to 1500 dollars worth of food. So, one power outage pays for these things.
