Back to EpisodesS2 E3: Step 2 - Dependancy on Critical Infrastructure - Energy and Utilities
Description
This episode outlines the process for evaluating and developing a plan based upon your reliance and dependancy on the sectors of critical infrastructure. We examine energy and utilities to look in detail at hydro, natural gas, fuel oil, propane and containerized gas. Looking at each one of these elements of the energy sector, we ask the important question: "what does my world look like without hydro / gas". That will be very different for many people, with each family's dependancy on energy being different. Further, we talk about how to plan for this loss by categorizing everything supported by hydro into one of 3 groups: critical, essential and nice to have. We build a power profile to meet critical needs, then look at the options available to provide that power: solar, wind, fuel generator and battery bank.
Planning leads to a conclusion of either a specific task to complete, a specific acquisition or nothing to see here....
A review of each of the CI will provide a plan to meet the requirements of that CI, by aggregating these, you have developed a detailed plan for your family, created based upon your needs and family's plan. We will never tell you to purchase something off the shelf.
