When couples disagree about emergency preparedness and disaster planning

My partner and I keep having the same fight about emergency preparedness — I want to stock food and water for disasters and they think I'm being paranoid and wasteful. We live in an area with frequent power outages and wildfires but we can't agree on what 'reasonable preparation' even means and it's starting to feel like we fundamentally see risk differently.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are discovering they have incompatible relationships with uncertainty and control, disguised as a practical disagreement about emergency supplies.
