A new report exposes a major weak spot in American’s defense against terrorism – the power grid. The Washington Examiner reports:
In a new report that warns that the electric grid is the “prime target” of terrorists, Americans are being urged prepare for the up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money, and healthcare.
“People no longer keep enough essentials within their homes, reducing their ability to sustain themselves during an extended, prolonged outage. We need to improve individual preparedness,” said a just-published report to President Trump.
“There needs to be more individual accountability for preparedness,” adds the report, “Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage,” from the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Counciland published by the Department of Homeland Security.
It looked at the potential of a power outage of up to six months and recommended Americans have enough supplies on hand for a minimum 14 days, a standard for some prepper organizations.
A crippling attack on the nation’s electrical system would be a catastrophic blow, and Americans should be ready to endure hardships in the face of enemies as our forefathers did in the past.
You better be ready to help yourself, because the government isn’t going to help you. If this should happen, there will be chaos everywhere. Many Americans can’t handle the little stuff and let alone a power grid attack.
I’ just jump in my sailboat and find me a little paradise down in the Caribbean, load it up with can-foods and beer, extra propane tanks, and let the wind take me wherever I’ want to go. But with a guy like Trump at the rudder, don’t think we got to much to worrie about, The Terrorist are scared shittless of all this craze Gringos that are ready to shoot any Terrorist that get’s in his cross-hear. The only reason that the Japanese didn’t attack the US, during WWII. was because they knew we all had guns and ammo. Just look in Europe where they has taken the guns away from their people, now only the Terrorists got guns, and the crime-rate has gone up over 85%, Rapes over 1000%. in many countries.
Your so right, don’t ever, ever let government (Big Bureaucratic Government)take away our guns. Secondly, if we don’t get the wall, there will be an open invasion on this nation by South America and elsewhere, when Our President is gone either after this next election or if he wins after that, this nation is going to come tumbling down. Ammo up and stock up food.
Just look at those idiots in Europe letting all these practioneers of the religion of peace. They aren’t going to simulate into these nations or here, they are here to turn this place upside down, either no one coming in wants to simulate they want to fly their flag above our and trample over ours. No respect or want to be American.
True and is going worse.
Canned, boxed, bagged foods available & cheap. Don’t need cooking, can be eaten w/o heating. Manuel can opener. May not be used to unheated but can be. All canned products are pre-cooked. Even dry cereal can be eaten w/o milk. May be dry & crunchy, but still eatable. No milk to make soggy so does have a good taste
for what you listed always get a camping stove and convert to lp have had one for years and milk you keep at least 4 or 5 quarts or box,s of stabilized milk and rotate as needed get flour ,cornmeal al kinds of dry goods store in mylar bags with deox packets and heat seal and always keep 2 to 3 gas grill size tanks full canned meats you can get chicken pork and beef etc this is stuff along with stuff cheetah listed
I think the recommendation for 14 days of food and water is way too low. I don’t foresee any government agency being able to overcome the complete loss of power, production, and distribution (esp, transportation) within at least a month, or more likely three.
I agree and keep thirty days + worth of canned high protein foods like tuna, chicken and beans, canned milk, veggies, lots of water along with hand sanitizer, water filtration devices, tp, tanks of propane and at least 30 gallons kerosene for the heater depending on the season. I keep bags of batteries for flssh lights and radios I keep wrapped in foil.
the power grid is different from state they are all connected together but a lot of states can drop off grid especially a lot of the coastal states that are used to hurracanes like Fl.if I am remembering right they can disconnect from the grid and supply most of the power the state needs and I do know a lot of these stats are putting in a lot of solar systems so a lot is going to go state to state
Well duh! But a solar flare could do more damage. The government better have a plan in place to help civilians in case of any power grid attack or a big solar flare. A solar flare can do a lot more damage than terrorist. Solar flare(s) can wipe out transformers and even electronics.
Don’t count on generators and modern day things learn how our forefathers lived and did well. You need shelter, water and food and materials you can get from nature as style will not exist if we lose power for that long.
Thank you a lot Writer for the ammunition and idea sent to the terrorists. That is what happened to the twin towers after the news aired how to knock them down after the first failure ! Now it’s the food chain!
People should really pay attention to this because it’s so possible!
