Due to the ever-changing climate, massive power failures are expected to
increase in the coming years due to the higher level of storms. I work
for an electrical corporation, and I know how complicated the electrical
grid is and also how fragile. Where I’m from, we never used to have
hurricanes, but in 2014 a category one made landfall. More and more
storms are going to affect the power grid, and we have to prepare
ourselves for a long-term blackout. In this Video, I will be talking
about the best ways to prepare for a short and long-term power outage.
When we face a long-term power failure, there will undoubtedly be
massive looting from an unprepared population. Everyone will be rushing
to grocery stores to find food, and water and this can make for a
hazardous situation if you’re outside with your family.
We are so dependent on electricity that most people panic when the power
is out for only a few hours. They don’t panic because they will have a
lack of food or water, they panic because they will miss an episode of a
television show. Do you now understand why the western world would be
screwed if we were facing a long-term blackout? A massive power outage
would be a devastating event to our population.
We can prepare ourselves for an imminent power failure by following the
steps I will lay out. If you follow these tips, you should have no
problem staying home and surviving a power outage that might last for
weeks. Many people often think that this type of event will never
happen, but are we all forgetting about the massive blackout that left
50 million people in northern USA and parts of Canada without power? The
power was out for approximately 23 hours and left 11 people DEAD!
Even though the USA is considered a superpower, our electrical grid
resembles something from a third world country. The grid is vulnerable,
and we never know when the next blackout will be.
