Welcome back to our ‘Circling the Wagons’ class!
(For those just popping in, this is an imaginary scenario that's part of a class we are doing and not real life.)
If you're just joining us, welcome! If you were here for level one, I hope you were able to complete the things
you wanted to get done during our class break or at least work on them.
I worked on the list I compiled as
a result of level one and was able to mark off the following …
My disaster guide notebook is up-to-date and ready to add too …
We added a solar lantern to our preparedness items …
And I’ve taken some specific steps to further my herbal
knowledge.
There are several other things on my list to do/purchase, but
I will have to work on them as time, money, and ability allow.
Starting with this entry, we’re going to take the class to the
next level where things get a little more serious.
Before we do that though let’s talk about the length and
timing of this level …
It will last 2 – 3 weeks as level 1 did …
We’ll take a Christmas holiday break and then start the last
level in early January.
Okay, is everybody ready, let’s do this … let’s delve into
week 1 of level 2 and take ourselves back to our imaginary scenario ...
Reminder: your weather and location in our imaginary scenario are your real-life
weather and location!
It’s day 37 in our grid down scenario and no one is any closer
to having answers than they were at the beginning of the power loss. There have been no more ‘hour of power’
events and things are getting more serious with every passing day.
People are hungry, their tempers are flaring and looting,
robbing and sneaky tactics are becoming the norm instead of a rare occurrence.
In addition to the above, there is a serious problem in the
making, one that can be a health hazard.
The garbage/rubbish is piling up. Garbage pick-up has become more infrequent and cannot be relied upon. If the garbage has been bagged and left on the streets or piled up in your backyard, it has become a
sanitary issue. Stray animals and hungry people are pilfering through its contents for
food and or anything that might be useful. Rats have been spotted in your
neighborhood and or area and the flies seem to multiply hourly.
Another thing that is concerning is that people who are
rummaging through the trash are getting a good representation of your
supplies! Empty food cans and packaging
will be screaming that you have food!
What are you going to do?
How are you going to handle this?
