If there was a power outage, you could survive normally using older ways of life and with proper preparations; some ways to prepare is having canned foods that don't require heating or refrigeration, since you wouldn't have electronic means of preparing it, and supplies for starting camp fires. Some ways your life would be affected is lack of simple methods of day-to-day tasks that you have become accustomed to: no warm water, to refrigerators, or heating systems such as electronic kettles, microwaves or ovens. A backup system you and/or your family/community could install would be solar panels, to collect power during the day to then be used at night or when needed. Solar panels collect solar energy by catching the sun-rays in the cells of the panels and turning the energy into a direct current (DC), then the panels convert the direct current into usable alternating current (AC) energy with the help of inverter technology. That current is then distributed throughout the building accordingly.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits for exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in part because it recognizes that this form of radiation can cause cancer.
