Here's a little tip for epidemic survival. Spray paint" we have it stay out"on your doors. Wrap caution tape around your house, and throw your sh#t out by your entryways and maybe some fake blood.
Yeah... no kiddin'... I ran out'a beer, smokes, and cash all at the same time once‼

Rock bottom!

This is to keep people away from you and your family. So people don't try to get in and steal your supplies. Or expose you to whatever the sickness is. I have 7 kids so I have put a lot of thought into protecting them.What the heck???????????????

I'm thinking if stuff gets really bad everything will crumble. Everyone will quit going to work. Police and military will shut down also. Also too many sick people to move or quarantine. Just my theory. I have too many people to stay mobile. Also have thought someone could start your house on fire if you don't help them. I hope things never get that bad.I see a hole in your prep thinking when it comes to this kind of pandemic.
The government will declare marshal law and send in the army and police agencies and force you out of your home.
One home at a time and block by block and ship everyone infected to one of the thousands of holding camps they have built over the last 10 years. The camps will be filled way over capacity and you will most likely die there.
If you plan to try and bunker down in one place, it would be easy to just kill you or wait you out.
No mater how many guns you have and how much ammo you have, a small family cant defend a bunker very long.
In a pandemic, you need to stay mobile and stealthy.
Of course all of this depends on where you live.
The bunker in method is good for lots of emergencies but not all.
Information would be critical and determining if that information is real or propaganda.
I mainly just prep for natural disasters and things like power outages, hurricanes, ice storms and things like that.
But I do have a weak bug out plan.
During hurricane Ike I sat here and bunker down and watched the hoards of people try to leave the city all at the same time.
ALL highways were locked down and everyone was trapped on the interstates.
Thats why I'm a back road kind of guy, I googal and map out back roads on my trips, just so I can learn where all theses back roads go. I've been back roading my whole life, and gettin pretty good at it.
Way, way, way to many assumptions on your part...I see a hole in your prep thinking when it comes to this kind of pandemic.

If there would have been 50 confirmed cases of ebola in the U.S. There would have been mass hysteria. I'm not sure how long you would need to stay in. What if it's 10 below zero? You can't really be mobile. I remember the day of the 9/11 attack, by 2 in the afternoon the gas stations were packed, and everyone was buyin gas cans at the store. People react fast. I guess I try to prepare for whatever threat is imminent.Preparation is great - I don't want to be a burden on others from having not prepared. But prepare for what?
I am expecting something quite different from what is being described here. I expect a long decay of the the society lasting many generations, punctuated by events that might feel quite catastrophic at the time. Some of the tips here might be useful short term, but you won't be able to outlast events that take lifetimes holed up in a bunker, and you cannot eat guns.
Your best defence is to be a valued part of a community, someone who is known to have skills that are useful to others, and to have built relationships that last. The rest of this stuff is frankly absurd.
Way, way, way to many assumptions on your part...
You're assuming the government would still be in operation...
You're assuming there would still be a healthy army and police force...
You're assuming the army and police would obey such orders...
You're assuming there would be means and infrastructure to "ship" everyone to a "camp"...
Stay mobile and stealthy?? Maybe... maybe not. What if the cause of the pandemic is raining from the sky??
Not that it's a bad idea to have a plan, but those who make it through any sort of emergency unscathed are the ones able to remain calm, clear-headed, focused, and above all... are flexible and adaptable, even on a second-to-second basis when required. If your plan is to just "bug out"... well, even a deer won't run from noise until it visually identifies it as a threat... blindly running can turn out to be the equivalent of jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
All the weaponry, food, water and whatnot won't be worth cold owl squat if you ain't able to mentally deal with the situation.
Although, I agree with Chris-PA, rather than some sort of pandemic, nuclear winter, alien evasion, or some such... we're much more likely to see a collapse of society as we know it. Think more along the lines of The Great Depression (only worse), forget about Ebola...

Not many people could bug out on foot and survive very long.
My own brother would not make it long with out all his meds even if he had everything else.
There's also the difference in geographic locations to consider. Here in southern Idaho, we don't have many big cities, a big city to me is 15,000 people. We are small town (100 - 2000) people. Prepping for a disaster for me is food, water, ammo, and fuel. In the event of an EMP horse travel is avaliable. Plenty of meat standing around too. Our county has almost 3:1 ratio of dairy cows to people. That's in the hundreds of thousand cows in one county. Also lots of natural shelter if I need to bug out. The most important thing to me though is not freaking out. Keep my head and rationalize the situation, then act.
