Sorry but people lived centuries without power, I think well manage.
Lol that is funny. How can you compare? In those days everyone had a well and an outhouse.
Do you know what it is like when you can't use the toilet? What about the water...it is recycled in the cities and could never get to you so EVERYONE would have to find a dirty park pond or a river.
In those days people got their eggs from the hens and milk from the cows, they grew food. Can you even imagine the smell all over the city as the Froze TV dinners rot and the ice-cream melts and the meat thaws?The disposable diapers from thousands of babies are on the street... In the city you are in a huge trap if you have no transportation to that water and when a million people start pooping in a back corner alley and the garbage is not picked up.
The time limit is because if you are not out immediately you will not be able to get out.

There are many exceptions to this rule....consider that if a EMP explodes over the continental US, Alaska and likely Hawaii would not be effected other than being cut off.....we have our own power systems....Hell Alaska is a country in itself....I think we'd be ok up here. Even without power....it wouldnt take much to get to water via the multiple fresh water lakes in the city of Anchorage.
And a bonus if you live with a eskimo from a villiage....they know all about livin off the land.....
I say lets git er dunn.

I'm not an engineer, but I'd be worried even if they didn't get all the stations, what about the cascading effect like we saw in NY?
