Most cities will be untenable, the risk from disease, gang violence, water supplies, security and fire storm make it realistically impossible. Just imagine if a fire broke out and there was no one to put it out, many cities would find entire districts ressembling Dresden. Any disaster that leaves many dead and no civil government to clean up the bodies, shut down the factories and keep the water flowing are going to face wave after wave of pestilence.

We are in the Philly area. Depending on the situation bugging-out could be a real nightmare. We have prepared, best that we can, for shelter in place. If millions of people hit the highways to try to bug out, then they are sitting ducks on those roads and no one will be going anywhere. Therefore - we either bug out extra early, or we shelter in place.
Be Aware
Before you even think about a means of self-defense, you should learn how to be aware and how to avoid trouble. The best weapons, the best training and the coolest gear won't do you any good if you are oblivious to your surroundings. Being aware of your surroundings usually means you can avoid the situation before it imperils your life. Knowing how to defuse a potentially deadly situation is just another tool with which to defend yourself. Ultimately, avoiding or defusing a confrontation before physical force is required is the best self-defense.

My plan is to bug in for minor things, and bug out for anything that
might result in wide spread riots and looting.
