the 'able to help look after our neighbours and neighbourhood' variety rather than the 'head out into the wilds alone' type. This is *my* society, dammit. It built me, then I helped build it, and I don't plan to abandon it

that is a brilliant summation of the kind of post-disaster fiction I wish there was more of. Even the ones that have helping-each-other type stuff are all about "throw out the old ways, they're worthless!" Not nearly enough "this is MY SOCIETY, damn it."
