same scenario when the major black out hit summertime but same problem this time water if your town is gravity fed then you have until the water runs out but what then , now fortunatley my small town in northern ontario is readily prepared lots of diesel generators(the city itself) not to memtion private citizens) but what if your town is not set up?
has anyone ever considered these problems arising?
always be prepared
