You don't have to worry about Korean nukes if there's some sort of collapse. You gotta worry about your hungry or thirsty next door neighbor.
I personally believe we're gonna experience a major population reversal in the next 25 years. Too many people being born and not enough dying. Look at any animal population that gets overgrown. A disease or a drought comes through and nearly wipes them out. Our 7 billion plus population makes us ripe for a widespread disease outbreak, which will most likely come from the far overpopulated Asian countries. With our global economy and the rapid movement of people, it can be worldwide within hours.
Of course, we don't need to be wiped out with human borne diseases. If a world wide drought happens or a disease hits our four favorite grains (corn, soybeans, rice, wheat), lotsa people are gonna starve. Even Syngenta and Monsanto can't save use then...
When food runs out or a disease strikes, it's gonna run out in population centers first. All those people are gonna flee to the counrtyside. Anyone within an hour of a large population center will be overrun by hungry, desperate people.
I am prepared by staying away from large populations - I'm four hours from Chicago and Milwaukee, two hours from Madison, and 1 hour from Dubuque. I also know how to grow my own food and save it through the winter. My farm is "water rich" - I have a decent sized stream running trough it and two or three springs, depending on how wet the year is. I have a small stockpile of rifles, shotguns, and one pistol and have taught my wife how to use them. My daughter and son will learn when they're old enough. No concrete bunker, MREs, or tin foil hats.
Like others have said, it doesn't do much good to be overly prepared for something that may not happen, but it's foolish to not be somewhat prepared for anything.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
