> In the grander scheme of things, it can be seen as an anti-solution.

Every person who has adequate preparations for themselves and their family is a person who who's allowing societal resources to go to someone else in greater need. It's one less person standing in line for water and food after a disaster.

Far from an anti-solution, it provides distributed herd immunity.

Not disagreeing with that. I'm just worried that the people who build their shelter might do so at the cost of not averting the disaster in the first place.

The people hiding in their shelters will live just a bit longer. If that means they survive: great. But they could also die alone instead of having defeated the danger together.
