A new "town" and floating dock or means of bulk transport such as airstrip minimum of 1200 feet in length would be needed if completely cut off. Human culture needs a common place for interaction trading goods and talking story and usually is in close proximity to supply point. The Town Merchants would need a good 1 ton truck, and a 3 axle 21,000 GVW flat deck trailer to use in the event of relocating due to another advance. Each merchant would have his cluster of inventory containers with a common "showroom" connecting them together for his "store". Lava says move, leave or dis-assemble "showroom", trailer off containers to the next "safe" zone. Medical could be Military MASH containers connected with containers set up as offices, exam rooms, etc. Water and sanitation could be containerized as well, using vacuum technology for community and restaurant waste and gravity/pump for water. Electrical needs could be photovoltaic on the roofs of the containers or grid tie if available.
