Britain prepares for total shutdown: "Black Sky" plan developed -. BBC.
The authorities have prepared measures in the event of a total power outage across the country due to a possible collapse of the power grid. Media outlets will be required to provide backup radio transmissions for 72 hours, and citizens are encouraged to stock up on water, food and medicine for three days. The government has allocated £70m to fly communications towers capable of providing mobile service for a week. At the same time, experts warn that abandoning backup communication systems makes the country even more vulnerable. Caravans: |.
