Unless you invoke Coincidence to provide for an existing large river(s) to match up perfectly with the new one and feed the dam(s). | |

| Mar 25, 2019 at 7:07 | comment | added | user | Some of the discussion in answers to How long can my small American city be without Internet access? may be of interest. I would also recommend splitting this question up into several; electrical, Internet, and phone are likely rather different (though there's probably more overlap between Internet and phone than there is between either of those and electricity, from a reliability/local-sustenance point of view) and thus may benefit from being treated separately. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 5:52 | comment | added | AlexP | Electric power grids are designed to be able to be broken up in smaller pieces. Electric power is not a problem, if they still have their power stations. The plain old telephone system (POTS) will still work, for short-distance calls only. I have no idea whether in Oregon they still have a classical telephony system. Modern fancy cellular networks and the internet won't work until reconfigured; I hope they have some people with a very solid knowledge of the practicalities of IT&C. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 5:41 | comment | added | Shadowzee | I would imagine that the internet just won't work because core services that it relies on would be down. Without a Datacentre you will only have access to things on the computer. You might be able to get the computers all connected together, but your going to need a specialist to link all of them together. It would be a similar situation with phones because there is likely a check to make sure you are a paying customer which will likely fail. I'm not putting this as an answer because I don't know enough, but I believe your assumptions close to correct. | |
