The way I see it, in America, those in the urban areas and most of those in the suburbs are not willing to prepare and are screwed in a disaster event. Pretty much only the rural areas are made up of people, who the majority will by nature and necessity, prepare for most anything thrown at them.

Let`s face it, you just cannot compare Americans to any other people. While we have, as a culture, a seemingly growing number of people who wish for the government to be their everything, we still have a significant number of Americans who are the throw backs, the “rugged individuals”, who can and will, proudly, fend for themselves as best they can in any scenario. This is still part of an American heritage for many people, and not to sound haughty, but even though many peoples, in many third-world countries live a much harsher day-to-day life than we do in America, I firmly believe that, when necessary, sacrifice, enduring fortitude, and that legendary pioneering spirit set Americans well apart from the rest of the world.
