"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) |
