When the Grid Stays Dark

This preparedness program covers the first 72 hours of an extended blackout, from stabilizing immediate needs to coordinating responsibly with others. It teaches practical resource management for water, food, medication, sanitation, temperature, communication, and offline information, alongside calm decision-making under uncertainty. Grounded in the AN, NAAY, RE, and Ma’at framework, the program helps learners move from preparation to endurance through verified information, adaptive planning, useful action, and community care. It concludes with a safe 72-hour preparedness drill and a review of what to improve before the next emergency.
