The people who will have the best chance of survival will be the small farmers. If there is an established farm that is willing to turn it into a commune type setting, so that they have the help, security and support of others, this will be the best situation.
1. The people involved need to understand gardening, farming, animal husbandry, medical, firearms, welding, etc etc. Most old time farmers are a wealth of information and if you can doctor up an animal, you have a better chance than most with a human.
2. You need enough hand equipment to large scale garden with if you have no access to fuel or power. It is also important to have the equipment to farm and garden if there is fuel and power, it will save a lot of energy.
3. It will be best to grow food. If you are out in the country you can forage as well, it is really surprising how much food is available that we don't use. But you have to start practicing this now, don't expect to know what to do when you need it if you haven't practiced it. Where I am from everyone will start to hunt. And it won't last long. The game will be cleaned out and pushed to far back. If there is no access to fuel it would be hard to get back into the areas you'd have to start going to get game.
