How does one refill a 250-gal propane tank, out of curiosity? I'm pondering something similar for stove and possibly a dual-fuel genny.

Well, the propane company sends their big truck out to refill it.

The big difference in a temporary power outage and complete breakdown of society, as in civil war, is that everyone knows the power will eventually come back on. Everyone knows stores will eventually restock shelves. In a civil breakdown situation, people could be without power for months and months. Stores won't restock and everyone will know it. This would create far more panic and "dog eat dog" behavior than a temporary situation. People living in suburbs will be in the most danger at the beginning.
