[Personalapocalypse]

Hi;


In decreasing order of likelihood (hopefully, and of course just my opinion):

-'personal apocalypse' I.e. Unemployment
-extreme weather
-social unrest
-economic crash
-epidemic
-CME
-severe terrorist attack and accompanying martial law
-other/zombies

Just my priorities there, and that's by no means complete.. Prepping is for any eventuality.

A UK economic crash is far from unlikely IMHO.

The NHS is on its knees and the pension fund is all gone, the national debt is out of control and if interest rates so much as twitch the government is in deep doo doo.

But of course the thing we are really prepping for is the thing no one can see coming.

I am mostly concerned about:
- Food & water shortages
- Long term blackout/ power shortage
- Economic crash
- Fuel shortage
- Zombies... / Social unrest

[Cromicon]

We're preparing for:
Food and water shortages
Power shortages

Likely caused by:
Economic crash

Leading to:
Civil and social unrest

Also might be worth thinking about a Graduated Emergency Action Plan, to help structure plans and preps...

GEAP1 = Shortages of food/fuel. Short term problem but one that can cause mayhem as unprepared people panic buy, would you join in the frenzy or do you have confidence in your preps and keep a low profile?

GEAP2 = Restricted movement. Either from quarantine (self or state imposed) or flooding, snow, etc. Similar to above, but less people on the streets and a greater urge to help out neighbours etc.

GEAP3 = Partial social breakdown. Such as curfew, martial law, rioting, looting and general but isolated lawlessness.

GEAP4 = Total social breakdown. Medium term loss of the rule of law, widespread mobs and raiding. Though with a government still operating in isolation and rebuilding an option.

GEAP5 = Permanent loss of society and culture. Public offices destroyed, communications both remote and physical gone.

NB I made GEAP up, but it is "inspired" by some of the national resilience policies and procedures.

I like it, and have evaluated my preps using your GEAP format

GEAP1 = 6 month food & fuel supply, able to keep low profile for 6 months initiate medium security measures 10/10

GEAP2 = Do not have neighbours but would help close friends and family, house on top of hill and as above 10/10

GEAP3 = Bug in, initiate high security measures and prepare to produce additional food small scale 6/10 need to secure more land and take into account close friends and family.

GEAP4 = Bug in, initiate Death Com 1 security measures and prepare to produce additional food 2/10 I am struggling here with long term food and defence.

GEAP5 = If we survive (which I currently doubt)No.4 I would contact Yorkshire Andy and utilising our generators we would re build the UK and rename it Yorkshire 11/10

Score 28 out of 50
Just like my school reports "Improvement needed"

I think you should get a +10 bonus for having a plan to rebuild the country in the style of New Whitby
