A no‑fluff zone focused on tactical readiness, emergency planning, and crisis resilience—built for users preparing for civil unrest, war, authoritarian or fascist threats, armed oppression (e.g. DHS/ICE or secret‑police operations).
Includes step‑by‑step guides on risk assessment, evacuation routes, self‑defense, communication, legal rights, situational awareness, secure homesteading, and emergency supplies.
**Strictly no political debate, media noise, or conspiracy speculation—only practical planning for worst‑case scenarios.

Preparation
Guidance, planning, drills, checklists, and readiness resources to help communities prepare for emergencies.
Why Use This Category?
Use this category for discussions around planning, preparation, and readiness—not just response or recovery:
- Create or share emergency kits, family plans, team drills, readiness checklists, and resources.
- Discuss preparation strategies across communities, organizations, or households.
- Showcase tools, templates, or community-prep case studies.
How It Differs from Other Categories
This category is not for incident response, past events, or feature requests—it’s designed specifically for future readiness preparation, including:
| Category | Intended Use |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Planning, checklists, readiness resources |
| Response & Recovery | Managing post-incident operations and healing |
| Community Feedback | Evaluating past performance or tool features |
| Feature Requests | Proposing new product/system ideas |
What Topics Should Contain
Topics in this category should include:
- A clear goal or scenario (e.g. “1‑week survival kit Roadmap” or “office drill protocol”).
- Checklists, templates, or timelines for implementation.
- Tools and guidance—with links or attachments if available.
- Optional: discussion of local context or regulations (e.g. “prep for wildfires in CA vs tornado season in TX”).
Should This Be Separate or Merged?
- Yes, keep this separate. It helps users instantly find planning resources and avoids mixing with lessons learned or design specs.
- If usage overlaps heavily with another theme (e.g. Community Programs), consider adding a tag like
prep-planninginstead of merging. - As volume grows, sub-categorize by scenario: Family Prep, Office/School, or Community Drills.
Quick Guide: Is Your Post Right Here?
Yes, if you are posting…
- A ready-to-share checklist, kit, or plan.
- A guide for organizing drills or reviewing readiness gaps.
- Advice on building prep capacity or resource lists.
Not this category if you are posting…
- An incident debrief or help needed right now.
- General feedback with no prep deliverable.
- Feature ideas or technical discussions (use Feature Request instead).
Best Practices & Governance
- Moderators may tag, move, or close posts that clearly belong elsewhere.
- We’ll periodically review activity and may refine or split subgroups (e.g. Startup Kit → Pet Prep).
- Posts under community prep will maintain a focused structure encouraging follow‑up and maturity over time.
Thank you for helping build a helpful resource where preparedness leads the conversation. Let’s plan better; be ready—together.
