Time is of the essence when getting prepared, but there are "plenty of options" for those preparing themselves for a potential internet outage. Emergency essentials were listed off by the expert, who says there is a link between "solar activity" and internet preparedness.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Payless Power CEO Brandon Young said: "Solar storms are the most searched-for type of internet apocalypse. The sun is becoming more active than it has been in over a decade, significantly increasing the potential for power outages, grounded flights, and stunning auroras.
"The sun is entering a period of peak activity that will last several years. Plenty of options exist for people searching and preparing for the next internet blackout.
"We advise securing emergency lighting, purchasing non-perishable foods, and having a battery-operated radio to make sure emergency alerts and news are accessible during the outage. Similar to any big natural disaster, cities may lose power for weeks or more, and many activities necessary to daily life would be interrupted."

This increase in activity comes from an "uptick in solar activity" which is "likely driving much of the search volume around an internet apocalypse."
Some steady preparation for a potential permanent outage may be advised, as expert Young believes the solar storms could "impact society" beyond repair, and the likelihood of a storm is rising.
He added: "Solar storms have the potential to impact society in several ways: power outages, grounded flights, and stunning auroras. Solar storms are largely a result of an increase in the sun’s activity. We are now in such a period. Yet, over 90% of people have taken no preparatory measures to mitigate the impact of an internet apocalypse on their personal or professional lives."
