#1 The great majority of disasters don't last very long, and those who are prepared provide a great buffer for society when they do.

For example, if someone stores enough food for their family for six months, once they know a disaster will only last a month, they can feed five other families as well.

In turn, that means the relief agencies can feed five more families. So a single survivalist can actively help eleven families, including their own.

Survivalists have also been around for decades, so there are some whose food is nearing its expiration date, when the disaster hits. Had they not used it, it would have just been thrown away, which gives them motivation for charity.
