This evening I watched "How Long Would Society Last During a Total Grid Collapse?" by Practical Engineering, 1 of my favorite channels for outstanding engineering-based analysis of a variety of topics:

I added this to my "Communitarian Prepper" page:

I finally purchased a portable electrical generator yesterday. I'll share a video about it soon...

I added 2 playlists to my "Communitarian Prepper" resource website. 1 on Emergency Power Options:

Another on (more general) Prepper Resources

@annaraven Yes, totally. I think having a camp stove or something similar is crucial for the emergency box, and obviously can be unpacked for power outages

Saturday night is looking bad. Strong possibility of thunderstorms, rain could be as much as 2 inches.
Assume power outages, though probably limited if any in SF itself. Driving unsafe all weekend, but ESPECIALLY Saturday night

If any leaks or flooding at your place, now is the time to fix them. DPW is getting a fresh supply of many sandbags.

Over 38,000 residents of Asheville, North Carolina lost municipal water service because of cold weather around Christmas this year. Some are still without clean water. Are you ready for a residential water service interruption? I shared a post on our family learning blog with some ideas & reflections:

Any of y’all have a good pantry/emergency preparedness supplies management spreadsheet or system that you’d recommend?

I’ve been slowly ticking stuff off of a big list, and now want to be better at rotating things in and out, etc.

@bouncinglime @queeranarchism@anarchism.space I am definitely interested in hashtag. I wouldn't mind using #prepper or #prepping on fedi, reclaim the term, as it were.

#EmergencyPrep works too. I don't mind long hashtags on Fedi, there's usually enough space for them unless you are threading.
