Will you lend your home battery to a neighborhood blackout?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

1. Option 1

   Lump-sum supply to essential facilities

   It maintains the shared service, but may miss household-level vulnerabilities.

2. Option 2

   Supply after each household's reserve

   It protects individual living conditions, but the clinic's supply volume becomes uncertain.

3. Option 3

   Secure outside power through cash procurement

   It preserves the batteries, but takes on transport delays and high costs.

The situation as it stands
