There was me reading yourt title thinking I'd be worried for the poor old people and how they were going to survive, and then I read your OP and realised what you meant and to be honest, I still worry about those old people, those walking sticks can take out your eye!
Seriously.. I worry about the feral youth since they seem to be the most adaptable to this situation.. besides this would suit their current society of take what you want, be wastful and above all enjoy being lawless..

I'd honestly worry about the scammers who can fit into communal living but take off while everyones asleep with the communes rations' or tricksters who befriend you and rob you in your sleep as well. These would be the con artists and cult leaders/spiritual leaders, etc.

Believe it not this is an old topic that has come up over and over again in many NCO and enlisted clubs...
Chaos ensues and what to do?
I'm not talking of the riots like they had in LA I mean real SHTF...
well it's not the military you need fear... most of us would make our ways home to protect our families... mothers fathers brothers sisters wives and kids... that tops our priority list....
Still look at what we saw in New Orleans...and again in Haiti... roving gangs of thugs... not gangs per say but young men who used "Might makes Right" for permission to rape pillage and burn, rather than help...
No we military folks know all to well the darker side of human nature and to that end fully understand we choose to stand in harms way so or loved ones don't have too... No its not us you need to fear, unless you come looking for trouble
