Long-term power grid failures coming to America… do you have the tools to survive?

As part of its national Space Weather Strategy [PDF] released last fall, the White House has finally acknowledged what one expert has called a dramatic shift in emergency preparedness – namely, that three days’ worth of food and supplies is far from enough for your family’s survival.
As reported by Off The Grid News, the plan – which was reviewed during a workshop in April hosted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and attended by
White House officials – acknowledges that predicting space weather, like a solar flare, is difficult at best. What’s more, despite all of our technology, there would be almost no warning if such an event were to occur.
As others have noted, a massive solar flare would be the naturally occurring equivalent of an electromagnetic pulse attack via nuclear-tipped ICBM – and would devastate the electric power grids of even the most modern nations. What would ensue afterward is pure chaos.
Grid expert Chuck Manto attended the April workshop and detailed the new plan in a mid-June article for DomesticPreparedness.com, a web site for emergency planners and first responders such as police, fire and EMS personnel. The new plan acknowledges that such an event would lead to a “long-term loss of electric power.”
