I have thought about this since last month. I came to one important conclusion:
The internet would keep working, but only for a very limited time, somewhere between hours and days. Before long something would go wrong and that would be the end of internet.
My conclusion there fore is that I must rush to a place with a great printer and internet set up, such as the Kinko's copy center, with in the first hours of everyone else meeting what ever end.
I would then search the internet for every topic I can think of that would be important. The following is a short list of things I would want to print off:
Location of all Nuclear reactors in any area with in 500 miles of any area I may travel too.
Malaria prophylaxis (prevention) and treatment, plus areas of epidemic diseases such as malaria
Location of wind farms, solar panel warehouses, hydro electric dams that are small enough for a single person to maintain, and operation/maintenance manuals for each.
Location of pharmaceutical warehouses, dry goods warehouses, natural ice caves, and radiation protocol supplies (detectors, iodine tablets, suits, etc..)
Next, on the very first day, while electricity is likely still working I would go to all of the grocery stores near by the Hospital near my house. I would clean out all of the perishable stuff from a couple, so they would not foul the store later as they rot. I would take all of the items I would like, such as cheese, meat, dairy and I would take them to the hospital and place them in the deep freeze.
The next day I would go around the hospital and turn off most of the breakers to reduce power consumption. I would figure out a section that could be maintained close to the deep freeze and kitchen. I would clear that area of any bodies and close any security doors into other areas. Hospitals have emergency back up generators that will already be set up. I would simply need to maintain the gas and oil levels in the generators.
The third day I would search high and low for a truck that delivers gasoline, or at the very least set up a truck with smaller gas containers I could fill while the pumps were working. I would keep looking every day until I scored a nearly full semi truck that delivers gas. I would park it by the generators at the hospital.
What would I do then? Well I would plan out where I may want to relocate to eventually, but I would not attempt to travel until I had mastered survival in my home town and put tons of thought into it.
