● Shelter-in-place readiness
When the grid goes down, your home is your best shelter.
Most city dwellers have nowhere stocked to go — and fleeing usually means getting stuck on a jammed road with a few days of supplies. CrisisHQ shows you how a prolonged blackout unfolds, and how to make your home ready to survive the first 30 days.

Why shelter in place first?
Bugging out only works with a stocked destination and a way to reach it. In a regional blackout, highways gridlock, fuel pumps stop, and travelers run out of water within days. A prepared home gives you water, food, warmth and safety on day one. Start with 30 days — then build to 60 and 90.
