You would think/hope there would be plenty going on, but at least some were able to look past the problems going on during the hurricane Katrina aftermath and the Rodney King riot and engage in firearms confiscation against people that were only going to be shooting murderers, pillagers, and rapists.

As to the opening post question on the Mk 18 copy as a preliminary step, that would seem to be a bad idea. Not much you can do with it in the here and now while in the scenario you are insinuating there would likely be some laying around when it wouldn't matter.
NOT according to Hollyweird... It's SO easy, even housewives can pick it up in a weekend.

Add dive shops to that too, I remember seeing a flyer on one of the technical dive forums:
Wreck or Cave & Overhead environment
Scooter/DPV
Underwater Navigation (required for AOW by PADI, so I'm guessing NAUI makes you do it by brail)
Rebreathers
Night diving
Altitude diving

No natural disaster nor man-made disaster other than war has ever affected the entire continental U.S.
Natural disasters other than volcanos don't cross mountain ranges. If your problem is a volcano, leave. Volcanos don't affect the entire continental U.S.
The rule of law, therefore, will continue to exist and will be back.
Meanwhile, we'll go to wherever the lights are still on, the coffee still hot and credit cards still work. We'll be back when it's all sorted out.

When the Yellowstone caldera erupts as it has in our planet's past it will affect the entire globe, the ejecta alone would cause a particulate winter that could last as long as eighty years, an ELE.
Then there are seismic zones like the New Madrid Fault and the Cascadia Subduction Zone that if were to go would redraw the coastlines of CONUS. There are some now open source USN/COG maps floating around the internet that show what the US would look like after one of these.

Yeah. That's what I said. It's never happened.
I'll tell you what, though. If it does, it'll be your problem. Some of us will just die.
Edit: may seem like a flip answer, but it's not. Finite resources need to be spent preparing for events that have a higher chance of actually happening. Better to spend resources reinforcing preps for earthquakes rather than building a spaceship for a last ditch chance at survival on another yet-to-be-discovered planet.
At some point, we die. Better to start there, and work backwards until you arrive at what are reasonable preps for you in your life, situation and prospects.
And we cheat. We're almost certainly older than you are, and that makes a lot of decisions easier. None of our plans, for instance, involve running. Or bicycles. Or walking with any pack that weighs more than about ten pounds. If your situation is different, I would expect you to make different plans.
In the end, though, you should plan on the rule of law returning. If it doesn't, one way or another, we won't be back, either.
