Preparedness is the totality of efforts undertaken in times of peace and calm that increase your readiness and ability to navigate through exogenous shocks. The intent is to have better post events, that is to have a far less impact from the disruption and to resume normal operations at the earliest opportunity. Your goal is to be prepared so that when something occurs beyond your control there is little to no impact on you chasing your dreams. 
Leveraging the exercise of understanding your exposure to and dependancy on critical infrastructure allows you to build a self-reflecting personal risk profile, designed by you considering your self efficacy, confidence and tolerance for uncertainty. Ten families in the same neighbourhood will have vastly different risk profiles to the same loss of access to critical infrastructure.
In addition, there are four responses to every event. The community driven help your neighbour and care for each other - based upon 1000s of years of experience, the nonprofit response to continue supportive operations to the vulnerable sectors, the private sector to resume operations as rapid as possible and provide immediate sector specific assistance to the community response and the traditional public sector. Understand these, use them in your planning to either support the execution of your plan or to understand how they might interfere with how you execute your responsibilties.
