we need a new word as an alternative to "prepper" --- which is associated with a flavor of extreme independence and often paired with conspiracy theory (ie hoarding silver), owning more guns than you can carry, and (frequently) lack of actual practice (ie stashing 500 lbs of flour without understanding it goes bad, or knowing how to really bake).

@tehn The world the preppers fantasize about isn't a world I'd like to survive in. I think city folks like me would have a better chance of surviving a disaster by working together with our neighbors, therefore I nominate the word "community organizer" to be the new alternative to "prepper".
