Survivalism
Survivalism is a social movement of people or groups (called survivalists or preppers[1]) who prepare for emergencies, including natural disasters. They often prepare for international or global catastrophe.
Survivalism may be focused on preparing for a personal emergency, such as job loss or being stranded in the wild or under bad weather conditions.
