A few weeks ago, I heard from some credible sources that we could see an attack on the US power grid Last week, we saw multiple hacks and vulnerabilities And today we’re seeing Japan, UK warn it’s citizens to stockpile food and water The pentagon is “secretly” preparing for a 90 day outage Do not wait for things get worse to act Here’s a list of items you can buy to be prepared: -$500-$2000 in cash (low denominations like $1, $5, $20) - 2 weeks of drinking water per head in household - large bag of beans and rice - canned goods/MRE’s - stove gas/propane tank - emergency med kit - alternative means of communication (ham radio, Garmin Inreach satellite messaging, meshtastic off grid texting) - means of protection - half a tank of gas minimum -battery bank - toilet paper (you remember what happened during covid) - go bag if you need to leave your area in a pinch - lighter/matches/fire starter Bonus (nice to haves): - starlink (may or may not work in this situation) - solar panel + power station - diesel heater - coffee beans (great for barter if this goes for the long haul) - mini axe Most importantly: have a plan of action For most people that means staying put and bunkering down in their homes.
