Lots of news lately about the increasing possibility of massive solar flares ala a "Carrington Event" destroying our electrical and communication infrastructure. The solar telescope on Maui is supposed to give us several hours of notice to make preparations for such an event, but do you think we're ready?
- Would HELCO actually do anything meaningful with the warning, like disconnect lines or harden infrastructure?
- Would the massive damage affect our island supply chain? Shipping/port operations? Electricity to the county water system? Refrigeration at grocery stores?
- What are your personal plans in such an event? Turn off all the breakers basically? Stockpile bulk potable water?
