Ensure values: peace and tolerance; service and community

Recommendations for a quarantine

Create a “base camp” of family & families—as much as space may support—MORALE

Everyone contributes to work needed at camp

Apportion and share by agreement all resources, fairly and equitably

Begin rationing immediately on I-day (Implementation of Quarantine, etc.) WASTE NOTHING

Priorities for base camp or individual

First, bring and store as much food as possible, undetermined length; clean water. Dry goods!!

(eat fresh or perishable foods first)

Second, energy, fuels, etc.; necessary tools, materials, for cooking, warmth, and repair

Third, bring all medicines, first aid supplies, prescriptions, vitamins, etc.

Fourth, Essential but minimal essentials, for change of clothing, sleeping gear, morale

(Addressing means of personal protection remain up to the individual and group comfort level

Procedures for Base Camps

Inventory everything, esp. food and medicines, fuels

Create a means of self-governing any group. Appoint trusted leaders to different duties

Agree on how to use foods, supplies, energy. Give NO charity to others. Trade and barter

If needed, create isolation areas for sick, if necessary

Arrange accommodations for members for members, sleeping, activity, work areas

Devise a means of schedules for work, security, chores, duties. Schedules improve efficiency

Use time well and wisely, and try keeping mood one of positive encouragement—MORALE

Plan for the Immediate term

2 month quarantine or movement restriction beyond base camp

2-3 month recovery process to rebuild functioning supply chains and reconnection

6-12 months(??) worst case recovery, with scarcities. Think gardening!! ETC. ETC.

Probable scenario for restrictions or quarantine and short recovery period

Electricity and gas companies should still function

Communications should still work—cell towers, land telephones, radio, television.

Vital workers staying in health care, emergency and police services, food transport, production

Road blocks, checkpoints, no crossing state boundaries without permits, city and village patrols

to control movement and regulate public spaces

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), primary administrator of public services

Federal, state and municipal agencies working to supply basic food deliveries, services, etc.

Limited, and by assignment, of household times to do essential shopping or pickup and delivery

Civil defense food rations distribution points (limited stocks—6-8 months???)

Mail services and postal delivery

Protocols

Establish communications with others, make hard copies of contacts, family, friends, etc.

CREATE NETWORKS OF YOUR OWN for trade and barter and resupply chains.

Arrange on set days at set daylight times a local market area after movement allowed

Don't panic, stay calm, stay as positive as you can, and don't do mean or stupid shit

Start rebuilding faith and perspective. Reflect on lessons learned about truly important things

Four principles of Cepiaclub—we all need to show leadership

Take care of your people; use what you have, wisely; focus on clarity, purpose and reality.

“Follow me!” attitude
