Sorry if it came as an attack it was not my intention. I apologize. English is not my native language and I'm afraid I did a poor job at explaining myself.

What I meant was : don't loose your time with a private company that will send you probably useless prep stuff since they don't know you, your needs and the scenarios you're preparing for.

I believe you will always do better than them even if you don't dedicate a whole lot of time to it.

I was comparing the government and private companies since I believe they will do both a poor job helping you get prepared.
