Field guide

Family readiness starts with boring systems.

The best household plan is not cinematic. It is a few printed numbers, a water plan, food that rotates, power for the devices that matter, and a shared answer to: where do we meet if phones fail?

What to do next

  • Pick a 72-hour baseline before chasing 90-day fantasies.
  • Assign jobs by person, not by vague intention.
  • Print the plan. The cloud is less helpful when the power is out.
  • Run one small drill: lights out, phones low, dinner still happens.
