It doesn’t mention Savannah or the dates or the Russians. So how is it related again?
The relation is that there is likely to be a grid-down situation at some point in the relatively near future. The rationale behind giving out emergency kits does not really matter to me. If they are giving out the kits, and this event is at hand, the logical jump is trivial.
I’d still ask this question again, willingly accepting your mockery. Rather be made fun of and prepared, any day of the week.
