Little Britain braces for total blackout: 'Black Sky' plan launched - BBC
The island's authorities have prepared measures in case of a complete blackout throughout the country due to a possible collapse of the electricity network.
The media will be required to provide backup radio transmissions for 72 hours, and citizens are urged to stock up on water, food and medicine for three days.
The government has earmarked £70 million to fly communications towers capable of providing mobile communications for a week.
At the same time, experts warn that the refusal of backup communication systems makes the island even more vulnerable.
