If the power goes out for a substantial amount of time, are you prepared?
This would mean no access to the following;
Water, Food, Cooking, Petrol, Lighting, Refrigeration, Air conditioning (heat/cold), Waste disposal, Communications - could you charge your phone?
There are many things you can do to prepare for such things as having alternative cooking, water sources, transport, methods to store food, knowledge to dispose of waste etc. I think this will be the year due to weather and biblical events to consider if you are prepared for what could transpire. I will post some helpful links and pages below. Feel free to add any tips.
