My MIL already knows to expect us in a SHTF situation. They have a location and house (if not necessarily the way of life) conducive to making it long term. She knows I'm working on preps for my own home ,and I have been starting to store food and supplies at her house in anticipation of maybe needing to stay with her. She's a heath professional and has long had a "pan-flu" (pandemic flu) closet so she understands the need.
As someone who lives in the city and could potentially be put in a "zombie" situation I count myself lucky to have family I can count on to help us out.
I look at this as just one more way of having a back up plan. I don't have all my eggs in one basket. I think that is key for me in my situation. Have 1 , 2, and 3 plans of back up. It's not doable for everyone but if you live in town it might be something you'll want to consider so you won't be put in a "zombie" situation either.
