@ai6yr And the usual method of parking lots tents for emergencies will most likely not work for this type of scenario.

I read an article a while back and it rings true. Our infrastructure is not geared towards extreme heat. It never has been. Transformers, power ines sagging, asphalt becoming too soft etc will only exacerbate these events.

Add to that the collective resilience of the general populating is basically zero. People become unglued when they lose thier ISP for a few hours let along an event like this

I mean honestly how many of your neighbors have even 72 hours of supplies in the event of a disaster, climate or otherwise?

@cvvhrn @ai6yr

In the Blizzard in Buffalo that killed so many people several\who died had ventured out of their homes to buy things they needed (diapers, baby formula, food). In the aftermath there were a lot of recommendations to stock up, but also push back because many don't have the money to keep a weeks worth of food on hand for their whole family. (Or not the kind of food they want.)

And you're right that many people lack the skills/mindset to deal with existential threats.

after moving to this teeny tiny apartment I struggle finding places to store my disaster supplies.
