The large scale #blackout in #Spain and #Portugal caught my attention for multiple reasons.

First, it's an example of the kind of disruption that is much less personally disruptive if you've prepared adequately for emergencies.

Also, it reminded me of the backstory of my #postapocalyptic Island Survival series. Let's keep that scenario in fiction, people!

💊 China controls 40% of global pharmaceutical ingredients, including 95% of key penicillin components. Supply chain disruption could hit your medicine cabinet hard. Here's why keeping extra medication on hand is crucial. schiffsovereign.com/trends/pre

It's well known that all national power grids are run on the brink of collapse. This is the way the grid systems have always worked. Any outage will need to be isolated as soon as possible to avoid a cascade failure of the whole grid (or grids, since many national grids are highly interconnected).

The recent #poweroutage is a great reminder that #preparedness is not a joke. You should have provisions and enough stockpile to manage at least 72 hours, preferably a week in a pinch.

SCIENCE IS REAL
NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS THE BEST

Known as the "Voice of NOAA's National Weather Service," NWR is provided as a public service by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the Department of Commerce. NWR includes more than 1000 transmitters, covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. Broadcasts are found in the VHF public service band at these seven frequencies (MHz):

162.400
162.425
162.450
162.475
162.500
162.525
162.550

🚨 US-China tensions are at their highest since the 1960s. With recent cyberattacks and infrastructure vulnerabilities, it's time to get serious about your Plan B. Here's why a secure home safe and emergency cash reserves aren't just paranoia - they're prudent preparation. schiffsovereign.com/trends/pre

Did you know China controls 40% of global pharmaceutical ingredients—and up to 95% for some critical medicines? Smart Plan B: Keep extra medication on hand. Physical cash, precious metals, and offline crypto aren't bad ideas either. schiffsovereign.com/trends/pre

Basic prep steps: Get a home safe, store cash for 2 months, add some precious metals, keep extra meds, have backup power. No downside to taking sensible precautions in uncertain times. Remember: it's about options, not panic. schiffsovereign.com/trends/pre

QUICK! Your cell phone & Internet provider services go down. For longer than an hour or two...

Do you have a plan?

Caring for elderly? How do you contact them? How do they contact you?

Kids at school or activities? Ditto.

#Disabled friends or family? Ditto.

What's *The Plan™*?

Someone shoot the whole #IoT 😅 In view of the #preparedness Union Strategy (eeas.europa.eu/eeas/preparedne ) and its local implementation I’ve made some elementary prep and went on a search of battery-powered (bonus if solar-powered*) #radio. This is surprisingly difficult to find, but one can get radio-controlled robotic window cleaning sponges, IoT thermometers to track ovulation, WiFi-controlled egg cookers and LED candles with remotely controlled, scheduled scent release and a hygrometer linked to your Apple Watch.

* this is admittedly of limited use in NL unless the radio has a very large surface area, which technically makes it an antenna? Might end up doubling as a radiotelescope by accident, definitely a win

One MicroSD card and Raspberry PI. With $35 + $24 you get totally off the grid planning environment for your tasks. Plan and coordinate regardless access to infrastructure like cellular or satcom. Sometimes it's also good if you don't leave traces to great firewalls. Edgemap is open source and available at my Github for free!
