Best option is a pre-meditated, pre-equipped group of like-minded people with a covenant agreement, knowing what is expected of each and all. But very, very few have such a thing... And finding such is often harder as OPSEC and privacy are often high on their list of priorities...
As for family, my wife and kids are here with me. As for my extended family, they are all over the eastern USA, and if anything went bad, they will most likely be on their own. They're adults, they should know this, as they are not ignorant of my beliefs in where we are headed. Since they have not made any concerted efforts, me going to THEM is out of the question, so they would have to come to me.
It may be cold sounding, but that is reality...
