I think that a percentage of all Americans generally live in at least a degree of a state of preparation. For example, those living in hurricane prone areas tend to have food staples, supplies, generators and fuel, etc. on hand for when the inevitable arrives. The same goes with rural folks everywhere. When weather emergencies happen, those in the country are the last in line to get their power restored. It just becomes a part of life, without even thinking about it.
For example, we keep oil lamps and plenty of fuel for them on hand, as well as candles, batteries, radio, extra propane bottles for the grill, several 5 gal containers of water, etc. along with an ever rotating stock of shelf items that are easy to eat/fix in the event of no-power. Heck, my wife even has a battery powered DVD player to keep her busy when we lose power for a day or more.
