There’s no internet and no phone signal. Strange.You look out your window and see none of your neighbors seem to have electricity either. There are no lights visible at any of your neighbors’ houses. Hmm.When you try to get yourself a glass of water, you see there is no running water.“Weird,” you think to yourself.Since you can’t make coffee, you decide to take the dog for a walk to the convenient store about a mile away to see if they have power, and coffee.There’s no power on the main road. You have no idea if the outage is contained to your area, or if the outage is widespread.Is this a cyber attack? Did China or Russia or somebody else take down our grid so they can attack us? Was Earth hit with a solar flare? What is going on?“I’m sure it’s nothing,” you think to yourself, even though you are not convinced that it’s nothing.You walk home a little concerned and find your wife and kids awake and in the kitchen. “Don’t stand there with the refrigerator door open!” you bark at your oldest child, who should know better. Nobody knows how long the power will be out and you want to keep all the perishable food from spoiling. Letting all the cold air out of the refrigerator is not going to help your cause.Maybe you’ll go for a drive to see what you can learn.

There is one wrecked car on the side of the road and you almost get hit yourself by a truck that didn’t seem to know it was a four-way intersection. No traffic lights make for dicey driving situations.“Not good,” you say to yourself as you turn around and go home.Your wife greets you at the door and asks if there is electricity in town.You shake your head no as you give her a serious look.Nobody can take a shower, brush their teeth or cook anything for breakfast. There’s no internet, so the kids are getting restless. “Read a book,” your wife says to the kids as she pulls you into the dining room to talk in private.Your wife has also gathered that no electricity and no water is bad, and the situation could escalate quickly as the kids start to get uncomfortable.“What should we do?” she asks, with wide eyes and some serious concern in her voice.You are considering a set of uncomfortable options.Your cell phone is dead now, but your wife’s phone still has some battery life. She decides to leave it off to conserve the battery power and check every few hours to see if there’s a cell signal yet.Maybe there’s somewhere you can go for a few days. You could get a hotel or something once you find a place that has power and water.The problem is...(continued inside the guide)
