The 72-Hour Collapse Plan

A 13-page working plan for the first three days after the grid goes down, the streets turn, or an attack hits your area. Not theory. It is broken into hours: what to do in the first two, what has to be done by the end of day one, day two, and day three, in the order that keeps people alive: medical, security, water, power, food.

Inside: the hour-zero checklist for assessing the situation and stabilizing your home; minimum water and calorie numbers per adult for 72 hours; water filtering, boiling and treatment methods; power, heat and cooling without the grid; medical priorities and sanitation; hardening doors and windows; a PACE communications plan with set radio windows; how to coordinate with neighbors or your group; and tear-out checklists and forms for water, food, meds, duties and messages. Gear recommendations throughout are clickable links.

Print it, fill in the forms, and keep it where you can find it in the dark. PDF, instant download.
