Rolling Blackouts Headed Your Way!!! Are You Prepared???
Almost everyone has had the experience of having the power go out in their home or office for a few seconds. Some know what it is like when days go by and the power has not returned. What if it was months before the power returned?
The United States national power grid is at serious risk of a severe prolonged outage. What will you do when that day comes and the nightmare reality that your lights, phone, computer, refrigerator and all the modern day conveniences we take for granted are no longer instantly accessible?
How can this happen? A Electromagnetic Pulse attack. A sustained Cyber attack from a decentralized group located offshore. A well coordinated Terror Attack or a major natural or man made disaster is all it would take to make that nightmare become a reality.
We have seen a foreshadowing of what this might look like with rolling Blackouts taking place in parts of California. We saw severe power outages most recently in Texas when they had record breaking cold weather that resulted in millions of people being without power. It was not expected and unfortunately some of those people who were not prepared for the prolonged cold weather and lack of power died.
We have been warned about needing to upgrade our energy infrastructure but in total we have seen a half hearted approach by states and the national government to seriously work on this issue. There is a tendency to ignore the obvious until the obvious becomes reality for you and your family.
What can you do now to put yourself and your family in the best position to survive when the blackout happens to you?
1. We highly recommend getting a solar power generator. It is a start toward having a renewable power source that can help keep vital items powered up such as your cell phone, computer, flashlights, heaters, etc.
2. Take one day and turn off all of your devices, lights, everything in your home. Now imagine that you have to live this way for the next 18 Months minimum. You will immediately began to see how "Unprepared You Are". You will realize how fragile everything is around you and take a whole different approach to preparing for this inevitable event. This is a simple exercise to test your readiness and it will pay huge dividends if you take it seriously.
3. Finally, you will need to begin to make a plan that covers in detail what you will do based off what you learned in the exercise? Think just in terms of making it one day at a time. If you can make it a Day then you can make it a Week or a Month or a Year. This is where you will begin to feel more confident about your ability to overcome the adversities that will be faced in this scenario.
Power outages are headed your way. Are you prepared? Remember, The most critical thing you can do is Take Action Now!
