You can pray.

You can collect water, food, flashlights, batteries, candles, matches, blankets, guns, ammunition, radios, fuel, and take a stand to support the War on Terror and those who are waging it.

we need lots of local power stations put online to back up the grid. Not hundreds... thousands of them.

and we need the police to patrol them instead of out trying to nab folks for seatbelt violations or smoking in "non smoking" bars...

infrastructure is everything.
"ballasting" the power supply would make our national power supply like bulkheads on a submarine or warship... if they stay in tact, entire compartments can be flooded without losing the entire ship...

same thing with refineries and ports of entry for resources.
every navigable river, bay and potential port should be used for bringing in fuel, and commodities.. that way if one port is hit, say los angeles, we still have plenty of capacity via san fran, san diego, portland seattle and so on... right now, the distrbution of our raw materials, seems to be TOO focused on the super ports.

rivers and bay channels must be dredged to increase navigibilty... so that we have hundreds of USEFUL ports for fuel, raw materials and resources... REGARDLESS of the target.

We also need to refocus on our RAIL system. It is in shambles, and we are dependent on truckers, truckers and truckers.. in that order.

The more avenues and resource infrastructure paths we have, the more difficult it becomes to bring down the entire structure.

We should also close down our borders to a trickle and get the foreign illegals OUT of here... they are the literal hives of scum an villainy that are the root of our nightmare.

For a nation at supposed war, we got a lot of "citizen surveillance" and not enough, "foreigner expulsion".
