Good read. Thanks for posting.
Personally I think the scenario described is overly optimistic. That level of chaos would lead to loss of electricity, which would lead to loss of water, sewer, and everything else.
In particular, everyone who did not have access to water would panic within days. This would result in quickly spreading chaos. The death rate would be very high, with no chance of quickly restoring order.
Hunger would be close behind, followed shortly by dread diseases we have not seen in this country for generations.
Apparently the U.S. government has modeled this situation on a national level. The 3rd hand reports I have seen on these studies have a worst case death rate as high as 99% by the end of the first year. I have no direct knowledge of these studies, but it is easy to see how this could happen.
Let’s hope and pray this does not happen. But it most definitely could.
The oligarchs who put little barry bastard boy in the White House have the belief that the populations of nations must be drastically reduced asap. Fedzilla preparations for dealing with the scene AFTER starvation, disease, and chaos have softened up the landscape should tell US all something very frightening about the people running America. It is already too late to stop these bastards from bringing it all down around US. And these same evil bastards have their enclaves stocked and ready to receive them. Wake up, America. Evil is strutting in your midst seeking whom it may devour.
Most major cities are on or near a river. Get your filtering equipment now. Plenty of water in the river, but as is, it's not fit even to bathe in, let alone drink. However, it can be made drinkable with the proper equipment. Be sure you have it on hand. Boiling will kill germs, but it won't get rid of everything. Even distillation won't get rid of volatile chemicals.
If you're not near the river, get "water parties" organized now. Groups that will travel together to the river, defend themselves if necessary, and bring back water. If you organize a group, then wagons or wheelbarrows make more sense than carrying jugs.
