Operation Dark Sky And Disaster Preparedness

If you’re like most people, you don’t think twice about flipping on the lights when you come home from work — it just happens. But what if it didn’t? What if nobody’s lights, refrigerators, electric stoves, heating, or running water (if you have an electric pump) stopped working for weeks or even months on end? This week, Wisconsin emergency responders are tackling that question head-on with a three-day electrical grid outage simulation called Operation Dark Sky. This hour, we talk about disaster preparedness in Wisconsin and across the world.
