I agree.  The funny thing is I recently got interested in prepping for emergencies. Started with stocking up food, water, and food for my dog.   Maybe this gives me a good reason to invest in emergency heating and cooling and other energy solutions like a generator as well.  Sure makes me think what would happen long term in the event no one can help me.
