The 7-Day City Exit Plan

In seven days, your household will have a written, tested first-draft plan for leaving your city when staying is no longer the safer option: when to go, where, by which route, who does what, and what to take.

The seven days

One decision a day, each with a task that takes about 10 minutes.

  1. Decide when leaving is the safer choiceDecide now what would tell your household to stay, get ready, or go.
  2. Choose a destination and a fallbackA useful destination has a host who has agreed, a way to check it's safe, and a backup in another direction.
  3. Find the weak point in your routesTwo routes only give you a real choice if they don't depend on the same crossing.
  4. Make a contact plan for when you're apartA contact plan for the weekday version of an emergency, with the key details on paper.
  5. Pack for the household you haveBuild your grab-and-go essentials around your people and pets, and find the gaps before buying anything.
  6. Test the plan with a practice drillA short practice scenario at home finds the gaps while there's still time to fix them.
  7. Put it together and keep it currentFix the gaps, put the plan in one place and set a date to check it again.

Who it's for

Households in any large city who want a written plan for leaving, made together and tested once at home.

You won't need to buy anything. A pen, a notebook and the people you live with are enough.

It's calm household planning for any country. Each lesson tells you what to check where you live, and in a real emergency, instructions from your local emergency services come first.

Is it free?

Yes. All seven daily lessons are free.

How long does it take?

About 10 minutes a day for seven days.

Which country is it for?

Any. The course doesn't assume one country's laws or services; it tells you what to check where you live.

Will you try to sell me something?

Days 5 to 7 mention an optional printable kit that follows the course. It's sold through GrokoryAI, the company behind Preparedism. You don't need it, because every lesson works with a pen and paper.

Who are Thomas and his family?

A fictional household whose week of planning runs through each lesson. Their mistakes are there so you can spot yours earlier.
