Can you survive...? [View All]

[silverweb]

Interesting thread over in GD regarding emergency preparedness.

Can you survive without electricity, gasoline, and grocery stores for three days? Would you know what to do and how to get what you needed?

The Ohio River valley is just coming out of days of a massive power outage. There are still 1/2 million people without electricity in the area and some of those are without water. We were blasted by the remnants of hurricane Ike, which no one predicted would cause so much damage. We had winds gusting above 80 miles per hour which downed trees and power-lines all over the area, causing a massive blackout for at least 1,000,000 people.

I think it's fair to ask; are you prepared for the sudden halt to civilization as you know it.
