The credo of emergency preparedness is the same as the Boy Scout's
Motto "Be prepared." HAVE backup power source(s), backup equipment,
and backup operators available ... have a well-thought out PLAN for
a
wide range of scenarios. DON'T rely on cobbling together a Morse
rig
from scraps and running it from a generator powered by a hamster
running
on a wheel.


Ok show me the calculation that predicts the duration of a power
outage.
Then we'll all know how many generators to have and how much gasoline
to
stockpile.

Oh, goodness, just a few car batteries...

Ok, show me the calculation that predicts the duration of the power outage
so I can calculate how many car batteries to keep charged up and on hand.
The principal is the same no matter what power source you choose to
specify.
No one can predict when, where or how long emergency power will be needed.

Oh, duh....gads, Dee, it's late! I'm sorry...

I just plain believe in the philosophy of trying to be as prepared as I
can--and I don't even get that far very often. Being prepared takes some
measure of organization and I lack on that part.
