A small reflection after experiencing a country wide blackout for over 10 hours: - I am not prepared whatsoever for any disaster scenario. Losing power for 10 hours isn’t even exactly disastrous and I wasn’t fully prepared. - We often take electricity and telecommunication services for granted. - I should start keeping an always fully charged power bank around. - Good job, Spain for getting it resolved in 10 hours. That’s actually impressive imo, but if it’s ever a cyberattack, we’re cooked. - Being in shape counts when you have no choice but to climb the stairs without working elevators. - Always keep some physical cash on hand. - Procrastinating on my chores over the weekend would have been much more annoying if I hadn’t done them. ie. Supermarket, laundry, cleaning. (Yay chronic procrastinator proud of herself!) - Call my mom more often.

What would you do to prepare for the social impact of outages like this (thinking, behavior of neighbors like runs on food and water and other fears that spread via social contagion in panic)

Welcome to prepper club. For me it was hurricane Sandy in New Jersey during college. 3 days without power and zero preparation since no one thought it would knock out the grid. Now I always have at least 3 days of shelf life food, GMRS radios, some kind of power (generator for a while but now bank), and enough whiskey to trade for TP and water.

Sorry you have to go through this. These simple yet somehow not obvious facts is what I mean when I say to people to seriously work at avoiding socialism at all costs in every country, picture this: you’re me in 2017 with no electricity for a week, no running water service, no kitchen gas… that is Venezuela. We weren’t prepared either.
