Cricket, you need to consider how you will keep you and your loved ones safe. You'll need to consider if you are bugging in or bugging out; where you will go and how you will get there. You'll need to decide what the circumstances will be that signal to you that it is time to put everything you've got ready into action. You need to consider what you will do for heat, shelter, sanitation, transportation, people that invite themselves into your plan, and quite a few other things.
