The stay or go question? As stated obviously depends on your situation. Is the problem localized or not? For me personally, I live in the mountains. In a tight knit well defended neighborhood which is quit isolated (very close to south shooting site). 2mi away from decent water, but we couldn't grow much. My biggest fear in a survival situation is not supplies so to speak, or looting. But the MUCH greater chance of FIRE. One small mistake in someones house, barn, garage, campfire, and there goes the forest and your resources. If a fire is coming can you still bug out after you've been in survival mode for weeks/years? Do you have enough fuel to get out. More questions to think about. Good conversation.
