Description
A full UK blackout wouldn't just turn the lights off — it would shut down your phone, your water, and your food supply within hours.
This is what happens hour by hour in the first 72 hours of a national UK blackout — from the Electricity Supply Emergency Code and rota disconnections to why your freezer, taps, and petrol station fail first. Based on government plans and what almost happened in winter 2022.
The government says households must be self-sufficient for 72 hours. Here's the boring, realistic prep that actually works in a British flat or house — no bunker needed.
