Return home. Go to the shed, fetch the chainsaw. Head up the road a mile to the junction. Drop a few giant trees into the road.

Return to the shed. Grab the spools of razor wire and the welding gloves. Roll it out around the base of the property fence.

Head to the junction box. Turn off the whole-house propane generator. Turn off all unnecessary circuits. Rely on the roof solar and the backup batteries. Leave the well pump, the exterior lights, and the overhead lights on.

Open the gun safe. Distribute their guns to the children.

Cook what’s in the fridge and pantry, which probably gets us through three to four weeks. Cook on the electric stove if power’s available from the solar batteries. Switch to the propane appliances if not. Once that foods gone, switch to the 18 months of emergency rations that we keep in the basement. It’s on to the garden after that. Hopefully the 1.75 growing seasons we’ve gotten in have gone well.

Keep in touch with the similarly situated neighbors on our radios.
