[Shenandoah]

The following will link you to an article outlining a massive cooperative drill between the USA, Canada, and Mexico planned to simulate a total loss of the electrical grid. The drill is to take place this November.

Here is the NYT article that was the source:

If the government is that worried about it, they can't exactly call us kooks for preparing for it, now can they?

I wonder how they are going to simulate the mass panic that will ensue?

Did you chaps happen to watch the special on National Geographic last Sunday, "American Blackout"??
That does an excellent job of simulating the mass panic after the grid goes down....I keep prepping as we can afford...praying it will be enough when the shtf!!

I was suprised by National Geographic and American Blackout sure the cell phone video got on my nerves but the message was clear, BE PREPARED there were alot of people saying "I wish I had been prepared", "I wish I stocked up on water" in a way it's like Nat. Geo. is trying to get the word out, like at the end when the kid with the AK told the people trying to take their preps "You should have prepared".... just my $.02.

So what exactly are they going to do during this drill? I'm assuming that we won't even notice it's being run.

I certainly do not profess to know what or how the drill will be conducted. It is noted as being a cooperative effort between Canada, USA, Mexico....that trio alone is disconcerting!
