mastodon - Collegamento all'originale

Interesting: a Danish supermarket chain is setting up "Emergency Stores" that can keep open for up to three days without power or telecom and store an expanded stock of non-perishable food and essentials.
The idea is that no one should be more than 50 km from such a store and it should prevent hoarding/panic buying as people will know basic food will be available in an emergency.
Should be rolled out in 2028 at the latest.

not quite @adamgreenfield's #lifehouse idea but definitely adjacent

@Susan_calvin I seem to recall a convenience store chain in Taiwan doing something similar. Since we know high-density, small-footprint nodes outperform centralized systems in disruption, I think it’s brilliant. (I call it “embedded civil mesh.”)

That's the kind of thing that the private sector can contribute to civil defense. Not fallout shelters like in the sixties. Good call.

@angelastella indeed, fallout shelters are good and necessary for some emergency situations, these cater for (relative short) breakdowns in infrastructure and logistics, whatever the cause.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell this will indeed not solve week-long disruptions but are more thought of as "overload safety valves" for the system if logistics breaks down for whatever reason.
There will always be people that are caught out without necessities or that start panic buying bc they are afraid nothing will be available if they dont get it right now. That's the situation they intend to minimize.

@makdaam @angelastella The Danish government recommends that everybody has enough basic stuff (food, water, medicine, etc) to be able to live "off-grid" for three days.
The thought is that it would give time to get the large scale emergency response up and running or "solve" limited emergencies (like a 24h nationwide power outage) on its own.
