Defending (and Duplicating) Your Data
Good digital hygiene really is its own form of civil defense.
- Ask yourself 3 questions when strange emails arrive, and the answer is supposed to be yes to all of them: Is it from someone I know? Is it what I was expecting? Is it in the format I was expecting?
- Use the 3-2-1 plan for backups: Three copies of any essential data in two different formats or types of storage media, with one of them in a cloud.
- Update the operating systems on your devices, or better yet, enable automatic updates.
- Write down, screenshot or photograph essential street addresses and phone numbers, just in case.

Dealing With Disruption: Preparations For Lights-Out Aftermath
- Flashlights for every person in the house, fresh batteries every so often, candles and matches, solar-powered sources for small devices, portable power stations, and backup generators if you can afford and find one. Not letting your car’s gas tank sit at half-empty or below is always a good idea, too.
- Setting aside a small pile of emergency cash makes sense only if you will remember where you put it.
- Share the location with someone you trust.
- A few jugs of water are never a bad idea.
Stay calm. It’s easier to be calm if you’ve done a little bit of preparation.
