Most important take aways, Even if you dont read the whole thing. These lessons could save your life in such a situation:
Storing non-perishable food and off-grid supplies is very important.

When all communications are down, ham radio will still work if you can get the power to run it.
Keep extra essential medications on hand.
Be prepared for the day when there is no medical help available.
Keep up to date on current events so that you can be better prepared for what is headed your way.
Always have cash in small denominations.
