So getting this back on a more equipped.org footing here is my thinking; given the above issues in a pandemic scenario this is what I need to address:
- Food and Consumables for 10 weeks
- Potable Water for 10 weeks
- Rainwater recovery
- Ability to boil water
- Heat source, most likely a log burner
Do you live in a city? I can't imagine how that's doable in a city such as mine (Washington, D.C.), where most residents live in rowhouses or condos. The detached homes in older close-in and newer outlying suburbs also tend to be crammed closely together on small lots.
What would people in London do?
The cities are simply going to have to keep the sewage and water systems functioning. Failure to do that would be cataclysmic.
There are 100 million people in the 400-mile stretch from DC to Boston.
West Virginia's country roads wouldn't be hospitable for long...
