I may be grossly mistaken, but I have always thought that the "process" will be carried out with an objective of "minimal public disruption" as part of the overall plan. I suspect that it has all been game-planned out.
If your timeframe is more accurate, then I say "Hold on to your hats because the ride will be very bumpy!!"

Depends on whose definition of minimal is used, I guess.
Part of me thinks maybe everyone _needs_ to experience some disruption. People bond in crisis and those who don’t become a common enemy or at least, a common opposition. A survivable amount of physical discomfort and some hardship (for a brief period)becomes a marker between two states and gives folks emotional and physical skin in the game. Not to minimize effects: that’s why preparation is important and why shrinking the perimeter is good advice....not the time to take that vacation to DC or any urban area, IMO, nor to travel by public conveyance or perhaps even to take a road trip, unless you think you can make it to a rural safe zone beforehand.
I just hope things hold off past spring floods and the tail-end of winter storms. OTOH, hard to mount massive astroturf riots on black ice.
I hear chatter about NG call ups. I’d think red states would comply. Blue states....who knows? They are insane, anyway.
Pantry, water, generator, personal protection,essential meds are all important. The vulnerable, the ill, the very young and vary old need to be protected as much as possible...but there is not going to be any perfect scenario.
Yeah...bumpy. I assume we’ll be cut off from the internet, hopefully intermittently. I figure if I can foresee areas that will become problematic, so can the planners. Pray for them to have forethought, logistical skills and protection. Try not to become an extra burden. What else can we do?
