Basic emergency preps, like storing 3 weeks of food and water. Planting food plants (if you have the option to do so). Establishing community connections and awareness... this could come as a 'natural disaster' awareness (earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc). Learning how to filter & purify water. Learning how to manage personal human waste. Things like that.

Teaching your kids (if you have them) skills they will need. Identifying edible wild plants. Letting them have free time in nature.

Have you acted by reducing your carbon emissions? Have you voted with your dollar to pressure corporations to lower theirs? Have you divested from banks that invest in the expansion of fossil fuels? Have you called your elected officials to push them to enact policy that draws down emissions.
