Just as your encouraged to have a plan in case of fire, have a plan, it's more than local towns and cities around here have. I've mentioned the fragile non redundant nature of the power grid to a few local town officials and most all didn't want to talk about it or "waste" any time planning or preparing, after all a 100 years ago we lived without a national power grid.

Me? I've got a day's worth of distilled water, at least half a tank of gas, a fully-charged backup cellphone battery, a hand-operated can opener, canned food that I can eat without cooking it, and a crank-operated radio - enough to get out of town and across the provincial border (and into a separate power grid) if necessary. Not much of a plan, but better than what a lot of folks have.
