how to survive the apocalypse in the Guardian!!

[John]

I see they mention flooding which appears to be much the topic of the day.
One thing that does not appear to get much if any mention is flooding, and the results of like, land slip and roads silted over, post SHTF.

Think of post SHTF say 3/5 years after. No body to do anything with the floods unless they go down on their own. No body to clear blocked drains, fallen trees, silted roads, washed out rail lines and roads.

Over years we have diverted many rivers and streams and these will again find their own route. Rain will still wash soil down hill and silt up rivers, plus those that get blocked at bridges etc. with branches and fallen tress etc. This soil will silt up rivers again which we tend to keep clear. See what has happened on Somerset Levels pumping. Which is why many towns and cities sprung up by rivers because of the fertile soil.

Mind you might deter access to where ever you may be but would also be problem for you for any trade etc.

Just some thoughts on the longer term.
