I lived in LA during the 1992 riots, we were under martial law. There was a curfew, supermarket shelves were going bare, the police were riding four cops to a car. Services were very limited.
Two years later was the Northridge earthquake, there was no power for a couple of days, no stores were open, you were on your own.
One was civil unrest and one was a natural disaster but the end results were the same.
I worked the '92 riots as an LAPD cop. I doubt even 5% of the people that were unexpectedly caught up in the chaos were prepared for what they were faced with.

All you would have to do is check to see who didn't have enough allowance left to build a fort in their backyard.
How many cat. 4 or higher hurricanes have you been through (directly impacted) in FL and are you suggesting you do absolutely nothing to be prepared in advance?
Massive solar flares could disable the grid for months, if not years. Without electricity western civilization comes to a halt and chaos follows.

FB is more about the drive by would be clever one liners than anything of substance.
