Plan

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Knowing your priorities is only useful if it becomes action. Planning is where the framework gets concrete: every ranked threat gets a plan with clear goals — preparation, response, and recovery — so you know exactly what to do before, during, and after an emergency.

Above the per-threat plans sit category plans. Food, water, power, medical — goals set at the category level let you combine activities and address several threats with the same effort, instead of duplicating work threat by threat.
