Forget electricity try losing your water supply.
A year ago they shut our water off at the drop of a hat for 4 days straight. we were freaking out.
Imagine how long a new civil war would last when the gov shuts our water, electricity, natural gas, gasoline, internet, cell phone service off.
Not too long i would imagine.

We are F’ed...

We have identified that as a single point of failure at The Bunker. To counter it, we’ve gotten a redundant water system ginned up to that we won’t lose out, especially in the tropical heat.

You have to develop a source of water. That is No. 1 when putting together a plan.

If you have a house, it has gutters that move water from your roof down the gutters to the downspouts. Get a rain barrel for each downspout. To do this, you need the kit for each downspout so you can switch it to run into your rain barrel. Let the first amount of water flow down the spout as usual to get rid of as much dirt as possible off the roof. Then switch the water to run into the rain barrel and fill it up. Get a water PURIFIER, not a filter, to purify that water.

The best water purifier is a Berkey. You can take dirty water out of a ditch, filter it through regular coffee filters to get out as much dirt as possible, then run it through the Berkey and pure water flows out the bottom of the Berkey. A Katadyn purifier would also work and is less money. I have three Katadyns as well as the Berkey.

I also have plastic kiddie pools in small boxes to take out and set on the deck to catch rain water. There is also a 15,000 gallon swimming pool not many steps from me. That would go in the Berkey, too.
