- Travel nearly impossible - bridges down; planes, trains and cars
irreparable; airports, roads and tracks damaged.
- Communications disrupted with satellites torn out of the skies and
phone lines down and dead in any case with the power grids down.
- Crops difficult or impossible to grow in the gloom, and domesticated
animals starving off.
- Volcanic ash and fractures from massive earthquakes polluting the
ground and surface water with lead.
- Existing shelter shattered during the 15 Richter point earthquakes, so
homelessness among the survivors is acute, along with almost
continuous rain during the first few years after the Pole Shift.
- Medical and dental care in the hands of non- professionals, with
hospitals and clinics unreachable or unstaffed.
- Replacement parts unavailable, with the necessity of survivors
having to manufacture every type of chemical or mechanical part in
use.
- Traditional food sources being unavailable, so that there is no choice
but to eat what is at hand.
