It’s a pretty basic
characteristic of human nature to want to help others but sometimes you can
place yourself in a vulnerable position if you aren’t careful. You can stick
your neck out too far and this can create serious problems for your own
survival.
After a disaster, there will
be many people in need requiring assistance. Wanting to help others is an
admirable trait which we should all strive to achieve to some degree but it
should be done in a safe and responsible manner. Realistically, we should
realize that we won’t always be able to help everyone. Our own resources may be
limited even if you are prepared in advance. This is the point where you will
need to decide just how much assistance, if any, you can render to your fellow
survivors.
If you haven’t included a
plan for helping others in your preparedness efforts, you may be jeopardizing
your own survival. Basic human nature will take over and you will almost
automatically want to help as many others as possible after a disaster. If it
affects your own survival, you may wind up creating a burden for your own
family or someone else whose resources may be even more limited.
Decisions and plans should
be made ahead of time as to what resources or actions can be allocated to
assist others in need after a disaster that won’t endanger your own survival.
Got your neck stuck out too
far?
Staying above the water
line!

THAT is a really difficult question to answer. Even some family members can be 'cut out' if they are not at least listening to what's going on in our economy right now. Heads way too deep in the sand.
The big factor - young children. Heck, it isn't their fault their parents weren't paying attention but they will certainly bear a lot of the consequences.
No question about it. Preppers will need to exercise discernment.
