Questions about survival

OK, Harry, what if…?

What if it happens tonight? Shouldn’t we be prepared right now, right here, where we are, to live off the grid?

Do we stay or go?

What if we lose electricity?
Can we still flush?
Do we still have water?
How long does food stay good in the refrigerator and freezer with no electricity?
Do we have gas in the car?
Do you still have access to a bank? All electric?
Can you still go to a gas station? All electric?

Does a diesel generator solve these problems?
Do the banks, gas, electric, water, and sewer companies have back-up generators?

Stove is electric. We do have a propane camp stove that uses propane canisters and we have plenty of those.
Also, we can use the barbecue grill.

Water heater is gas but it won’t fill up when there’s no water.
No heat.
No A/C.

We need a prioritized checklist and a plan.

A personal plan
A family plan


Water for drinking
Bottled water
Water for flushing
Food that doesn’t require refrigeration
Cars with full gas tanks
Guns
Ammo
Cash

What we do have:

Water
Food
Grill and propane stove
Guns
Ammo
Cash
