Without electricity, gas, or water, even for a short time, life can be extremely difficult, and especially in a high-rise building or multi-storey apartment.

And then it spreads, out like a cancer to the suburbs, and the war is on.

1-Remember this, when it comes to water...my botany professor was a hiker and always carried IODINE, which only a drop or two per gallon will purify water enough to drink.

2- You can take a bucket of rain or river water and pour fast into a toilet and it will give enough pressure to flush it.

3- Be sure to stock up on candles, “lamp oil”, and purchase a couple oil lamps or camping lamps. Batteries may not be available later on.

Dried foods like oatmeal, rice, beans are good to have, and put a few bay leaves in any open bags or containers to keep out bugs.
