It is not about numbers, although if we were to look at population demographics, there may well be similarities. It is about Culture and Attitudes. As a Nation we Brits are definitely calmer and more reserved, I am certain. Americans , to me, seem to evacuate/flap/over-react etc. at all sorts. For a country that prides itself on it's sense of " Rugged Individualism" they seem to do as they are told a lot!
And back on topic,their idea of preps is vastly different from ours simply because of culture, geography and the fact they o not consider a decent cup of tea to be the cure for most things- barbarians!
Got to disagree with you ,the riots in London & Birmingham didn't appear very calm or reserved. We have changed from the stiff upper lipped stoicism of our forefathers
In terms of evacuations do some research on hurricane damage, hunkering down simply isn't an option for storm surge or a large hurricane
The nature of the ground in Florida (I'm told) isn't conducive to heavier built housing (but also there is a lack of strict enforcement of building code)
I wish we had some of the freedoms they take for granted in the US & their abundant cheap supply of prep goods and equipment
Its all too common in this country to belittle our American cousins but without them I believe we would have been under the Soviet Bloc control after WWII
You're right about their tea though it's sh1t
The Nat Geo programmes like any media are manipulating the finished shows to push their own agenda. If you poke around online you'll find criticism from the preppers who participated
God only knows why anyone would put their face national TV to be portrayed as a nut & expose themselves as a target in the future.
brogade so far 
especially when he was prepping for earthquake
