When it comes to being prepared for a SHTF event, preppers are focused on threats from natural disasters to nuclear wars, EMPs, and devastating cosmic events. The situations that people can focus on and become obsessed with preparing for and unpredictable and vary widely. There’s no way that one person or family could be completely prepared for every single type of event. So, most people choose one or several related events they believe are imminent and prepare as best they can for those.
But the less talked about threat that will be overwhelming no matter what the situation is that arises, is population density. For example, according to this map of population density by county shows that roughly two-thirds of the U.S population is located in the Eastern half of the United States. In fact, according to recent reports by the U.S. Census Bureau (2010 data), approximately half the population resided in just 146 counties out of 3000 counties in the United States.

EMPs, for all intents and purposes, do not exist in weapon form.
EMP events are the stuff of novels and movies.
Add my place to the list...

...everyone will lose their minds. When the grocery stores close, people will understand that there is no more food, and that they (and their families) will die of starvation.
The cities will explode like super novas, millions of people will turn zombie-like.
Remember the toilet paper panic of 2020? Wait until food is involved.
All it would take is a little spark...
