Grid Down: Death of a Nation The Psychology and Physiology of Human Desperation, Starvation, and Living Without Rule of Law Through a Prolonged Grid Down Scenario

In the aftermath of a long-term grid-down scenario brought on by a HEMP (High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse) attack, a massive CME (Coronal Mass Ejection), or catastrophic physical or cyber-attack that destroys electrical hardware, critical infrastructure, and our nation's HV transformers - How would the American people and the US military respond? When this question is asked, it is typically answered with ideas and platitudes that end in catch-phrases and include words such as "boot-straps" and "teamwork". Understanding the full psychological and physiological impact that human desperation, starvation, and living in a world without rule-of-law will have on civilian and military personnel will directly correspond to whether an emergency plan of action or Continuity of Government plans will be successful.
