    This is for the time before you will have a safehous with everything powered by readily available commercial solar cells.
    (just in case, anything I comment about here would only work in “everyone is a Zed but you”, because otherwise survivors, and more importantly, surviving people in power, will fubar each others and everyone else’s lives, and no long-term idea will reliably work)

    How dare you make me start thinking about how to best connect my two rain water tanks to my house.
