Storm Desmond brought unprecedented floods to Lancaster in December 2015 https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/living-without-electricity

Electricity supplies were cut off and not fully restored for six days. The disruption revealed how dependent on electricity modern city life has become. What happens when power, communications, and transport are all disrupted, when shops cannot function, and when most people cannot find out what is happening? What lessons have been learnt?

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/living-without-electricity
