If the federal government especially came out with strong definitions then the legal/ethical arguments become much more of an issue for state and local governments. What I mean is if the federal definition of a prepared citizen was one that could self-sustain for 72 hours following a catastrophic event, then would it be up to state and local governments to provide resources to help the citizens below a certain income level to meet that standard? As long as that potential exists we will never have a good, hard standard for "preparedness".
