Preparing Yourself In Surviving The Grid Going Down

By Jason Mitchell


You never knew when will the calamity strike. That could be next month, tomorrow and even now. That is why, when you still got time, you shall be prepared. You must not underestimate nature and human. Those two are the primary causes of the disaster. It can take effect for shorter or longer period of time. That is why you must not keep yourself off guard.

When it occurs, one thing that will surely be affected is the transmission of electricity. Electricity is the most important element to keep your commodities functioning. That can include cell phones, stove and even on your heater. Surviving the grid going down is might be pretty tough.

The sight of your property tearing from floods and earthquake. Chances that dead body are scattered on the ground. You might not be seeing some zombie people but surely, the spirit of your community will turn into such after witnessing the devastating catastrophe.

Hospitals will be inaccessible. Roads are blocked, Houses had been torn apart. Cries can be heard from left to right. You will be lucky to survive from the calamity but honestly, you will face many challenges after it. Pray that it would not take place during winter. Nobody can surely survive long without getting a good source of heat.

Imagine the picture that will take place in your surrounding. There would be loathing. There will be death. Starvation is present. To lessen your burden, while still early, here are the things you must do.

Secure your property. Your house will protect you against these things. Hence, if you are capable, you shall build one that can stand up against floods and even earthquake. Modern house structure has a new technology applied to withstand the specific intensity of an earthquake. Furthermore, it should also be able to withstand from tremendous force of water and wind.

Stocking of supplies. Water and foods. You might lose access to those things while the supermarket is still not open for business. This is the time where money is proved to be useless. That is how critical the moment can be. Hence, make it a habit to always store foods and water every month. It must be easy to prepare even without heating or cooking. Store it in a safe that can resist the infiltration of water.

Prepare a medicine kit. Due to the scattered and flying debris, there is a great chance that someone from your family will get hurt. Hence, you need to have antibiotics to prevent any infection. Furthermore, always consider to include aspirin and paracetamol in your kit. With the poor temperature and ventilation, expect that your children will be exposed to fever.

Keeping supply from another power source. Battery and generator. Make sure that you have either of those things. You will be needing it for your flashlight, radio and communication devices. It will be a good heat source too.
