My Personal Opinion:
Life is more fun when you know that you are prepared for whatever tomorrow throws at you. When you don't have the worries of "what if" looming over you every day you free up a little more of your life for things you enjoy.
I think the biggest part of preparedness is taking several minutes to step back from the everyday grind and look at what you are exposed to every day. Its the little things that sometimes make the biggest difference. Do you take the subway to work? Do you live near a river that has flooded in the past? Is your area prone to wildfires? Would you be able to function without electricity for several days?
When you break it down, the daunting task of planning for the next emergency suddenly becomes a little more manageable. With minimal research on your geographic location you can find out what threats you encounter every day.
A good starter list can be found at www.ready.gov. With the basics out of the way, when you do find yourself in that unthinkable event you can focus on what really matters, taking care of the health and safety of yourself and the ones you love.
