A small reflection after experiencing a country wide blackout for over 10 hours: - I am not prepared whatsoever for any disaster scenario. Losing power for 10 hours isn’t even exactly disastrous and I wasn’t fully prepared. - We often take electricity and telecommunication services for granted. - I should start keeping an always fully charged power bank around. - Good job, Spain for getting it resolved in 10 hours. That’s actually impressive imo, but if it’s ever a cyberattack, we’re cooked. - Being in shape counts when you have no choice but to climb the stairs without working elevators. - Always keep some physical cash on hand. - Procrastinating on my chores over the weekend would have been much more annoying if I hadn’t done them. ie. Supermarket, laundry, cleaning. (Yay chronic procrastinator proud of herself!) - Call my mom more often.

Welcome to prepper club. For me it was hurricane Sandy in New Jersey during college. 3 days without power and zero preparation since no one thought it would knock out the grid. Now I always have at least 3 days of shelf life food, GMRS radios, some kind of power (generator for a while but now bank), and enough whiskey to trade for TP and water.

I was in elementary school during hurricane sandy and so I lived with my mom who knows everything so I could depend on her to survive, but now I depend on myself to survive and so basically… yeah I would not survive. Too young to know how to survive without the internet 😅
