As for requiring everyone to have 30 days of food and water on hand, I think thats a great goal. But are we going to form a prepper police to enforce a legal requirement to do so? Are we going to fine and jail folks because they dont have enough beanie wienies in their pantry?Fine them? Why? Nature exacts it's own price on the unprepared.

Lesson One: do not live in a Liberal Hellhole,
Two: Do not depend on union drivers to get food delivered to you.

The takedown of the Puerto Rican power grid by Hurricane Irma will, we hope,... Maria.

Solar is expensive.
Batteries are bad.
OTOH, on a sunny day there may be no need to burn fuel to generate a subsistence level of electricity.
PS, I have a few “portable” solar panels to help with backup power.

Prepper Ping - Puerto Rico power, food, and transport crisis is just the latest.
Have you noticed that the crises are coming closer, and closer, etc., to the mainland ?
The original source article and comments are more than worthy of your review.
" Deliberate physical attack and sabotage of the grid are also major threats (has already happened).
But perhaps the biggest danger would be an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) created by detonation of a nuclear device above the atmosphere (Already threatened by the Norks).
And yet we wonder why Russia has already underground facilities to house, feed, and maintain millions of their population .
If you have miles and acres of food, but if you don't have the fuel/energy to get it where it is needed, it doesn't really matter, because it will spoil in the fields, or on the docks.

The Puerto Rico power grid was down before hurricane Irma even reached the island.
However, you still want to be prepared.
To: Bryanw92; All
we rebuilt Germany after the War, but it’s too damn expensive to fix our own stuff...BS.
The “retrofit” costs would save them thousands, see how much they have to spend fixing things after a storm. Man power, hotels, food, overtime...

It would go over about as well as the Retirement Police, to assure everyone is prepared for retirement.

Maria.
First thing I noticed, too.
The article names the WRONG hurricane.

Many rich guys tell epople on youtube: do not save! You will be screwed over big time. Borrow, get in debt and invest with it.
It is the sad game of the day because the federal debt is propped by the fed reserve.
