Non-electrical water purifier?
Propane-fired, perhaps?
Remember, after Iselle we couldn't even buy a bag of ice to keep food already in our refrigerators cold.
Exactly my point. We live at the tail end of a long supply chain with between 3 and 10 days of margin (depending who you ask and how they're measuring it). Ige set a goal to double local food production, but that's useless without distribution.
Closer to home: many people live on "privately owned" roads which have serious flooding issues. In some cases there is no alternate route out of the subdivision. County maintains that this is "not their problem" while raising the FTR because "road maintenance" and increasing (some) property tax because "budget shortfall".
The HART guideway won't flood, maybe after the next Big Emergency we can turn it into miles of "refugee camp"? Assuming we can get to Oahu, of course.
