The closest thing to the "apocalypse" you're likely to see is what happened in Argentina and what's happening in Venezuela.

Having a "prepper bunker" full of expensive supplies is not an asset, it just makes you a target. Having a small cache of things you can easily hide, secure, and trade is significantly better. If you have to bail in your city because things get too ugly you don't need a trailer truck to move.

Any normal person who needs more than a bug-out bag and a passport to survive is doing it wrong.
