Just curious, how much would you be willing to pay for a mail-based, yearly subscription to a service that takes care of the more onerous things you mentioned: planning, logistics, rotation; one that ensures you always have a one-week supply of essentials available (something to eat, medical, charger, etc) and manages their disposal (reuse and recycle) and refreshing on a regular basis?
I’m sure it’s not necessary to have entire populations be prepared as long as enough individuals can help the rest (like the example of a neighbor with a pool), so I’m wondering how low the barrier for preparation needs to be to reach that amount of people, in monetary terms.
Water doesn’t make much sense to do by mail, since a full water container is so much heavier and more hassle than an empty one.
Food that you buy and keep until it expires and needs to be thrown away is much more expensive than food you rotate through, and is less useful in cases where you forget to go to the store and want some extras of things. It also doesn’t let you buffer occasional trips to cheap stores or buffer buying things on sale.
Medicines are tricky legally (I want to write a follow-up about this) and are different person to person.

I’m not seeing much of a market here?
