Good advice for folks stuck in a place where corruption makes basic utility service unreliable, but doing a bunch of extra work to make getting through those times when you are without power a little less painful is no replacement for solving the problem. If I were in that situation I'd just move. There are plenty of states in the US that do not regularly have problems providing power, heat, and water to the folks who pay for them.

It's universally suggested by all entities that deal with emergencies: https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf https://www.fema.gov/pdf/library/f&web.pdf > If I were in that situation I'd just move. It's great that you have the freedom and resources to move around the country so easily, but I think that's a fairly rare privilege. > is no replacement for solving the problem I don't think I suggested it was. But it's not feasible that the problem will be solved in the next few weeks. For those next few weeks, fear and risk can be minimized with some "extra work".
