The year 2012 certainly had a fair share of weather anomalies. Hurricane Sandy and the severe thunderstorm causing floods that ended out the year with many people at a loss of traditional power. Even the New Year of 2013 has seen a tumultuous start with the natural disaster of Winter Storm Iago taxing power systems, causing floods, landslides and record breaking bitter cold.
Alternative power sources are on the mind of many folks, urging us all to prepare! It is our desire at PREPARE Magazine, that these articles, instructions and suggestions help encourage you, especially if this topic has impacted you recently, or if you are preparing for power outages NOT to impact your future. Either way, it is always important to have an Alternative Energy Source or two.
All of us may even need a reminder that we have Pre-Electricity Roots and survived fine before the grid. Or perhaps you are Considering Living Off-Grid all together. In our Feature Article: Anatomy of a Micro-Hydro Generator the author begins giving you steps to solve the problem of generating your own power. This specific topic will be continued in our upcoming print issue, so that you can see your project through to the end and start generating your own power from water.
As usual, we have included a variety of articles on other topics that we hope will empower your preparedness journey and bring peace as you prepare. After all, the whole purpose of preparing is because life is never guaranteed to stay ‘on topic’.
