We've been working on preparing for this for awhile.
Chickens! They give you eggs and fertilizer for the garden as well as roosters taste just like chicken. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hawaiichickens/
Gardens and hydroponic vegetables. We've been working on getting vegetables to grow with static hydroponics like Pam has also been demonstrating to people.
Our economy will be seeing hyper-inflation this upcoming year so if there is something you NEED (not want) then you may try to get it soon before it becomes too expensive to buy.
The DOW went down by over 700 points today, I don't know if there is anything the politicians can do to fix it since the rest of the global markets have also been tanking.
Ask the kapuna what they did during the last Great Depression and revise it so it works in today's scenario. When my dad came to visit this spring, he said our great uncle took the family money out of the banks (it took several years for all the banks to fail in the Great Depression, it didn't happen overnight and the banks are failing now) and bought a small grocery store. That store fed the extended family as well as most of the small town it was in since they gave folks food on credit.
Do what you can to get your neighbors prepared for dire economic straits. A strong community will be necessary to survive.
