"(As) I look at it, it's common sense," Cobb said.

Cobb is a disaster readiness consultant and the editor-in-chief of Prepper Survival Guide magazine.

He said he has seen a spike in calls and emails about COVID-19, the coronavirus, and its impact.

"I have people asking me what to do," Cobb said. "'What should I stock up on? What should I buy at the store?' I also have people asking me, 'How bad do you think it's going to get?'"

Cobb's biggest piece of advice is to have at least a few weeks' worth of food on hand that will last.

"We're not talking about buying a pallet's worth of canned beets or a ton of rice. Just buy a little bit extra of what you normally eat," Cobb said.

Cobb also cautions against special "survival food," which he said can be expensive and is not healthy in the long-term, he said.
