We are indeed extrememly vulnerable. Foreseeing that possibility, we should be stocking up on paper plates, plastic utensils, and lots of water. Those filling containers from the tap should empty and refill about every six months. Imagine human waste without flushing in your home....cleaning your clothes and cookware, let alone bathing. If you have animals, you wouldn't want them to perish for lack of supply. The ugly possibilities are endless.
Hello everyone.
Regarding prolonged power outages, water supplies and human waste management, I have a friend who works at a solid waste plant. I was reading some of the materials he had to learn. If the pumps that move the waste to the processing stations fail, this raw sewage can and will backup and flow into houses in lower lying areas. Not a pleasant thought.
