You paint a grim picture.
1 second after any 'event' like this is too late to prepare for it.
Local Gunsmiths won't take kindly to you taking their guns and will be perfectly able to fend you off I imagine.
All shops rely totally on 'Just In Time' supply and can't even handle a rumour of a shortage any more.
The time to do it is now.
Become member of Clay-Pigeon club to speed up your Shotgun application process
Buy a couple of decent 22 Air Rifles . No need for a pellet mould, just buy 100,000 rounds, they are dirt cheap.
Crossbow and a few hundred bolts (I like traditional Bows but now is not the time for aesthetics)
That will take care of home defense and putting meat on the table for a while.
Get yourself a nice hillside farm house next to a river and sort out wind turbine and a water-wheel turbine.
Get the butch Landrover and start hoarding fuel in a concealed storage tank (Domestic Fuel Oil tank?). Make sure nobody knows you have thousands of gallons of Deisel.
Start buying tinned goods, adding to the back of the pile and eating from the front (how long do tins of beans/vegetables and so on last?)
Start planting and growing.
Make friends with local Farming community (they can grow stuff, they are armed to the teeth, have fuel and useful vehicles). Say good bye to your (B Ark) city friends.

I haven't seen the TV program yet but I know that it's actually impossible to evacuate a city at short notice. Emergency Services know this. You won't be able to get your car to the end of your street for days.
We just aren't prepared for anything to go wrong nowadays, it's all balanced so finely that 4 badly timed car accidents can gridlock London.
If the News says "There is the possibility of a bread shortage next week" then the shelves will be empty of bread within the hour.
Summary: Guns, lots of guns.
