"Move Fast, Pack Light" Protocol: Evacuation Plan & Action

Goal: Execute a rapid, safe, and organized departure from a dangerous area. Focus: What to prepare, what to take, and the sequence of actions for leaving immediately.

Step Action: What You Must Do Now Why This Saves You (Survival Rationale) Gear/Action Focus
1. The Grab-and-Go Bag Have one small, light bag pre-packed with essentials: critical documents (IDs, insurance copies, cash), medicine, and a fully charged power bank. This is your "Go Bag." If you have only 60 seconds to leave, this bag ensures you take what you absolutely cannot replace. Preparation (Physical Security)
2. Secure Your Data Confirm your phone/computer has Full Disk Encryption (FDE) enabled and your "Secret Vault" is up to date (per the "Hide and Save" Protocol). You may be separated from your devices. This protects your information from being read if they are seized or lost. Digital Security (FOSS Principle)
3. Know Your Routes Memorize at least two different routes to leave your area that avoid main roads. Focus on footpaths or less-used side streets. Main roads will be clogged with traffic or monitored. Multiple escape paths increase your chance of success. Preparation (Situational Awareness)
4. Essential Clothing Before leaving, put on sturdy shoes/boots, long pants, and a warm layer, regardless of the weather outside. Protects your feet and skin from injury, and helps regulate body temperature during extended movement. Immediate Action (Personal Safety)
5. Communicate Your Route ONLY use your secure messaging app (Signal) to tell one trusted contact your intended direction of travel and an estimated check-in time. Ensures someone knows where to look for you, but minimizes the number of people who could expose your movements. Communication (Secure FOSS Use)
