Collapse doesn’t announce itself. It piles up. It accumulates in places people don’t look. And right now it’s sitting in stacks behind rural churches and volunteer fire departments. It’s measured in cords, not policy briefs. Every log is evidence of a system that stopped working.

"... households that are already at greater risk from severe weather... due to being in flood-prone areas or in vulnerable buildings... are least likely to have insurance... [and] also likely to face the longest storm-caused power outages. Long outages... mean food goes bad, no running water and delays in repairing damage, including delays in running fans to dry out water damage and avoid mold."
