In a new DHS report that warns that the electric grid is the “prime target” of terrorists, Americans are being urged prepare for the up to six months without electricity, transportation, fuel, money and healthcare.
“People no longer keep enough essentials within their homes, reducing their ability to sustain themselves during an extended, prolonged outage. We need to improve individual preparedness,” said a just-published report to President Trump.
“There needs to be more individual accountability for preparedness,” adds the report, “Surviving a Catastrophic Power Outage,” from the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council and published by the Department of Homeland Security.

It looked at the potential of a power outage of up to six months and recommended Americans have enough supplies on hand for a minimum 14 days, a standard for some prepper organizations.
“Build a Culture of Preparedness includes objectives to incentivize investments that reduce risk, including pre-disaster mitigation; closing the insurance gap; helping people prepare for disasters; and better learn from past disasters, improve continuously, and innovate,” said a key recommendation.
We imported a 2 cyl diesel from China a while back. Customs would not allow it into the country. They told us to send it back to China or destroy it.
I asked what would it take to destroy it? A. Drill holes in the crankcase. I chose that option and they released it. I was happy.
Or sanitation...city people are screwed.
Make that ‘PrepPING’.
Couldn’t pass the new diesel emissions requirements. You can only import them if they’re certified as being antiques.
There’s a guy in Canada who imports them there (apparently the Canadians don’t have the same standards). He turns them into “air compressors” that are then importable to the U.S., and then sells a conversion kit separately to turn it back into a diesel. That makes the importation legal, but the use is still illegal.
Jack, listen, tell me, ah... when did you first become, well, develop this theory.
What do I do with all this duct tape and plastic sheeting left over from 2003 when the Bush admin told me to cover my house to protect against terrorist attacks?
One EMP over California, another over DC and all imported terrorists won’t matter.
They’ve been saying this EMP crap for decades
As a physics guy
I say bull Shiite !
Where’s the booze. ?
I am more concerned with my own tyrannical terror government of deep state and leftists more than terrorists at this point. If SHTF were to happen, it would be ugly no matter the prepping.
Patch your roof.
Oatmeal. Cheap, lasts forever if you keep it dry.
>One miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible
>I always wondered what that would look like.
Choice phrase in book:
Emergency, Emergency, everybody to get from street

I’ll speculate that the customs people just handed You a Kit containing the Drill Bit, correct Tap and Threaded Plugs with Sealing Washers.
What a load of BS!!!
We couldn’t get that lucky. No Facebook, Twitter, or broadcast media? Killing our electrical grid would be the Globalist/Islamist/Deep State/NPC’s worst nightmare.
Ok so you are a “Physics Guy”...
With all due respect, I am wondering what credentials do you have regarding power grids, transformers, etc. to say “bull Shiite”??
Just wondering because a smart Physics guy should note that article mentioned NOTHING about EMPs. The article posted seemed to be focused on terrorists hacking the power grid.
You don’t think a power grid hack is possible?
BTW, what is wrong with being prepared so you don’t have to depend on government or neighbors in event of an emergency?
I live in a fairly well-off suburban community of 150,000. I contacted my town’s emergency management director a couple years ago regarding disaster preparedness teams. He said it is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when a disaster will hit, so it is good to be prepared...
