Most people don’t become preppers or store food, water, and batteries for a few key reasons:

Normalcy Bias

• • • They assume life will continue as usual and that disasters or disruptions are unlikely to affect them personally.
    • This bias makes it hard to imagine a future where basic services are unavailable.

Trust in Systems

• • • Many people trust that the government, utility companies, and grocery stores will always provide what’s needed.
    • They expect that if something goes wrong, help will arrive quickly.

Limited Space or Budget

• • • Some don’t have room to store large quantities of supplies or feel they can’t afford to stock up.
    • Prepping is often viewed as a luxury or only for those with extra resources.

Procrastination or Discomfort

• • • Preparing for disaster forces people to confront uncomfortable “what if” scenarios.
    • It’s easy to put off prepping in favor of more immediate concerns.

Social Stigma

• • • “Preppers” are sometimes portrayed as paranoid or fringe.
    • People may avoid prepping to not seem overly cautious or alarmist.

Lack of Awareness or Knowledge

• • • Many simply don’t know how fragile supply chains are or how quickly emergencies can escalate.
    • They may not realize how little it takes to be better prepared.
