Gasoline shortages in northeast U.S. highlights how quickly modern societies will unravel following disasters

This is just the beginning as the thin veneer of civilisation begins to peel. Many of the hardest hit areas along the Jersey shore and the coast of Long Island have descended into a state of anarchy. At the moment, there are still approximately 4.7 million homes and businesses that do not have power. Officials say that some of those homes and businesses may not have their power restored until the weekend of November 10th and 11th. Meanwhile, it is getting very cold at night. This weekend the low temperatures on Long Island are supposed to dip into the upper thirties. There have been reports of people diving into dumpsters behind supermarkets in a desperate search for food, and there have been other reports of roaming gangs of criminals posing as officials from FEMA or Con Edison and then robbing families at gunpoint once they have gained entrance into their homes. If people will behave like this during a temporary emergency that lasts only a few days, what would they do during a total economic collapse? That is a frightening thing to think about.

My prayers are truly for these people. However, they knew this storm was coming and the one thing they should have done is make sure they had a full tank of gas, and extra gas if they were able. Power goes out, refineries and gas stations lose power, people get desperate, tempers flare. These thing sill happen during a major storm/hurricane. And if anyone still believes that during a crisis situation, everyone will band together and sing Kumbaya is, I’m sorry, still living in a fantasy world.

In hindsight, how difficult would it have been to equip gas stations with backup gasoline generators to power their own pumps as well as their cash registers? It seems that the assumption that the grid will always be available was incorrect.

Pencil and paper work OK to work out the price owed. And the storage tanks can be opened and the gas siphoned with hoses or even dipped with a bucket or something sans holes, though you risk also getting debris or water that engines don’t like. However, if the storage tank is empty, that is that. Might as well get started on clean up or play checkers.

I do feel sorry for the many people affected by this storm.
However, I was born and raised in the country with a ‘learn to survive’ attitude. I live now in the city, and here is what I have seen:
People that live in the big city, are on the gov’t teet, or just working for their own luxury, have no clue what it takes to be ready for anything. They had a week to know this was coming. Common sense would have told them this was not a small storm. NY is only 3 feet above sea level. If even a 10 ft storm surge comes, do the math, they didn’t and now they act surprised? Of course things will grind to a halt and take much longer than expected to even start working. Again, why is this a surprise? They had a week to fuel up their cars, get water, get non-perishable food for at least 5 days, and maybe, just maybe, just plain leave.
As for the elderly, the people unable to leave physically, and the people in the hospitals, those people should have been given all means necessary by the local and state authorities to arrange them to be moved, if possible, to other facilities. Heck, let neighbors help them out too. They needed to be the first to be evac’d.
I was trained as well in survival tactics and the motto was “hope for the best and prepare for the rest”. It is not hard to prepare…takes a day or two, dedicate your time and one can actually do it on the cheap. There are ways.
I really hope people learn from this as you CANNOT depend on the gov’t to be there for you in all things. This is a great example how people must come together to help each other out. That way you are afforded more opportunity for protection, pooling resources, help in daily tasks, taking turns getting spplies, etc…
However, i do believe this is just a taste of what is coming down the road, and unless people learn from mistakes and take advantage of opportunities to learn new skills, it will be too late when the time comes for action.

U.S. Military to Truck Fuel to Region Hit by Hurricane Sandy
As long lines persisted at gas stations in the New York metropolitan area, federal authorities moved Friday to restore supplies, turning to the Defense Department to deliver 24 million gallons of extra fuel to the region and lifting restrictions on deliveries by foreign-flagged ships.
With the reopening of the New York port to tankers on Thursday, and the return of a critical Northeast fuel pipeline to full capacity on Friday, the biggest outstanding problems are the lack of power at hundreds of gas stations and continued panic buying by the public, industry officials said.
As of Friday, according to AAA, only about 40 percent to 50 percent of the gasoline stations in New York City and New Jersey were operating, and even fewer on Long Island, most of them out of service because of power failures.
In conjunction with Friday’s move, the Pentagon was authorized by the Department of Energy and the White House to tap the Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve.
