Imagine a world where the power goes out—not just for hours or days, but for weeks or even a month. No running water, no working hospitals, no food deliveries, no communications. According to Montclair resident and retired Marine Corps Lt. Col. Stephen Chill, this scenario is not only possible but could be devastating beyond what most Americans can imagine.
Chill, a key advisor for the Foundation for Infrastructure Resilience (FIR), has released a sobering new report detailing the disastrous effects of a prolonged power outage. The report, published by FIR, warns that nearly all critical infrastructure in the United States would fail if the power grid were to be knocked offline for 30 days.
