Phoenix runs 10 gigawatts of summer air conditioning load on its grid every July afternoon. Maricopa County logged 645 heat related deaths in 2023 with the grid intact. The 1977 New York blackout produced 1,616 documented arson fires and 1,037 looted stores in 25 hours. NYPD's 35,000 officers against the 415,000 the Army's planning ratio demands. Hurricane Andrew jammed I-95 with a 65 mile evacuation backup in 24 hours. The FEMA 72 hour self sufficiency window is not a suggestion. It is a casualty curve.
In this video, we talk about the seven specific American cities whose water import distance, population density, climate exposure and infrastructure dependency make them the least survivable inside the first 72 hours of any major cascade, including Phoenix's three hour interior heat death curve, Los Angeles' two hour basin gridlock, Miami's three road evacuation chokepoint for 2.7 million people, Las Vegas' 90 percent Lake Mead dependency, Houston's industrial chemistry cascade nobody has run yet, Chicago's six hour winter hypothermia curve, and the New York City security force math that no mutual aid mobilization can close.
Subscribe if you want the FEMA backed urban cascade analysis the local Chamber of Commerce will never tell you about.
Drop your city in the comments and the closest one on this list, and tell me your honest take on the 72 hour curve where you live.
