The Russians may not be able to afford it these days, Hope they can't! Please stay low, and keep your lights off when possible! That helps you go unnoticed.

Do you still have power? I have asked peope here to pray for your safety!

Thank you, @smithlabs. We do stay really low. We have power but are under blackout conditions at night. We haven't left the compound in over a month.

It is probably damp enough there for a Malitov coctail to be safely usable. I am so glad you locked down and blacked out! Do you have direct communications with your Son, or is it internet only?

We are praying for his safety too, that Angels are kept around both places!

You will let us know if we can do anything to help? BE SAFE!

We only have cell phones and internet. They cut our power we have nothing. No power, no water and no communications. We can not think of anything tangible at the moment but down the road, we may need help and we will take you up on your offer.

Any chance on the radio? Get it going and I can keep you on steemit, etc. Cell phones are too fragile, systemically. Do you have back up power? You can charge things from cars.

I assumed since you are so close to a river you had a well? Store rainwater. There is water in the hot water tank. If you get water back, even for a short time, fill the bathtub. Leave that faucet on (WITH THE DRAIN PLUGGED), so you know if the water pressure returns.

Ask, and we will do what we can! :(

We have no bathtubs in Central Aerica, just cold showers and sometimes a Kamikaze shower. There are no water heaters either. We are very primitive where we are. We are near the ocean and have two wells but they are salt water. I have two large water tanks, one 10,000 litres (approx. 2642 gallons) and a second one 2500 litres (approx. 661 gallons) of potable water plus another 200 gallons in the 5-gallon water jugs.

No luck on the radio equipment. Parts or old radios. Rainwater is not a problem at the moment. It is rainy season and it rains every day. Food may be a problem in future. We are feeding a lot of people right now. 21 people so far have taken refuge behind our walls...

I wish I could just hand you a radio! I have asked preppers, for ideas on things you can do. Catch all the rain you can. Sorry about the salt water, I was going to suggest a well. One of the guys suggested using snares, set at night, checked at night. I would wait as long as you can, to keep a low profile, but it is a good idea to add some extra food. Ration the food (I Know you are) and plant every pot you have. Run the salt water through a solar still (a large container of salt waterwith a collector in the center, all covered by a plastic sheet, with a small stone over the collector to direct the drips) The water in the collector will be salt free. I am thankful you have water storage! Keep quiet, so they don't notice you!

I added your link to my post, so you may hear from strange people (besides me, LOL).
