When the Black Community get's Un-Plugged Emergency Preparedness

Imagine one cold winter morning that you and your family woke up to no power, no heat or running water in your home, and within a mile circumference of your residents.

Imagine having to live in this condition for at least (30) days.

Imagine if there was no cell phone use, no internet, no television, no phone landlines, no lights, no cooking, no supermarkets available, no ATMs operable, no WAWA stores available, no corner stores available, no CVS, no Walmart, no Rite-Aid, no mass transportation, no traffic lights, no McDonald’s, No Chic-Fila, no restaurants open, no banks available, no gas stations, no Walmart, no hotels, no Western Union, no Pay Pal, no Cash App, no post office, no social media, no texting, no Google, no AI, no Tik Tok, no Facebook, no local news, no national news, no GPS navigation, no Twitter, no Uber eats, no Door Dash, no school openings, no hot showers, no operable toilet, no refrigeration for insulin medicine and the unavailability to go to a local pharmacy to get your prescribed medicine. There will be no need to go to the wine and spirits store or to get your hair and nails done.

There will be no need to get that fresh haircut or purchase the latest iPhone.

You will not be watching the game on your 80-inch flat screen or meeting your crew at the hottest new club to drink, dance, and socialize.

My SCOOP family, this particular article is not written to frighten or alarm you. This article is written with the intention of making and keeping you prepared for situations that may develop in the near future or even tomorrow.
