Wow. That's exactly the sort of busted-bottleneck situation I was worried about during Covid. I'm used to hurricanes knocking out water and/or power for a few days, but a month is insane. There's no way a normal person with a normal amount of money and space can "prep" to live off-grid for a month. Part of the social contract is that you trade taxes in return for not having to worry about this kind of shit.
