    France Prepares for Potential Blackout Scenario Amidst Russian Threat

    The French government is preparing for a potential blackout scenario due to the ongoing conflict with Russia. According to BFMTV, rescue efforts in case of a massive blackout will prioritize military enterprises aiding Ukraine over civilians. President Macron has ordered prefectures to prepare for potential Russian attacks and large-scale power outages at city, department, or regional levels. The scenario involves non-functioning traffic lights, dark schools, halted public transportation, and no mobile or internet connectivity. Hospitals would switch to diesel generators, with survival dependent on their operation. Authorities must identify critical infrastructure such as power plants, water systems, railways, airports, and defense sector factories producing weapons for Ukraine.
