One technique also is to be a grey man during these situations. Meaning just have a low profile and not attract attention. You should also not be so obvious that you have enough goods with you to survive so as not to attract the bad elements.

Even being a "grey man" will not work in all situations, especially if there are people entering unguarded buildings to look for food and other stuff. They might accidentally stumble upon your stash. Given they know where you have hidden your stuff, you have to decide to let them go (they will tell others of your stash) or kill them so your secret stash remains a secret. In that kind of situation, can you kill to keep your edge to survive?
