Plan for the Worst, Pray for the Best

We are the most technologically advanced human society this planet has ever hosted. Our technologies give us strength and comfort in this modern world, but they are our Achilles Heal at the same time. We have increased our standard of living through efficiency and specialization, but these luxuries comes at the cost of our cultural memory for 'simple living'. When the electricity disappears, so does our advanced society.

Although we Pray it will never happen, we are planning to endure an extended Grid Down crisis, a Permanent Blackout.

Once the grocery store's are empty, and the milk and meat in our fridges have spoiled, most people in our advanced society will be forced into individual desperation... and then chaos will reign.

Any number of potential triggers or events would culminate into a Grid Down situation (War, Terrorism, EMP, Solar CME). For we Americans, Grid Down would be a crisis of unimaginable terror and hardship. When the grid goes down, so does this great nation and her people.
