Summary

Once upon a time, disaster preparedness was a fairly niche pastime. Today, it’s becoming mainstream but despite this growing trend, there’s one thing most people are missing. If the power grid fails, it’s not just your lights that go out. It’s your water supply. It’s your heating and cooling system. It’s all your usual ways of cooking food or doing the laundry. Without the grid, life as we know it changes in an instant. Are you prepared for that?
