Sarah, good start. I would add a 4th item. Get real money in various forms of gold or silver (bullion and "junk silver"). This is for wealth preservation and bartering. Linking as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

Here's my action item for 2026, not just to take care of myself but it's something absolutely doable that could turn the world around:

A scheme for Santa to save the world

How he could tune humanity into knowing itself for the first time

"None of these goals ensure long-term safety. A large enough hurdle will still break most people. However, these actions prevent you from being forced into a desperate move during the first wave of a crisis."

But these are an excellent place to start.

There's a guy who has written hundreds of pages of guidance on actions to take to enable you to handle the next wave, and the next, and the ones after that. He expands significantly on all three of the topics you mentioned.

And it's all free (as in beer). No subscriptions. No email registration. No trackers. He's an admitted privacy buff. Plus, he doesn't want you going down the prepper rabbit hole and spending a ton of money. He says that's a non-viable approach over the long term.

I can't say more because he places restriction on what his fans can say online. He prefers that you take local action instead.

Sarah, your project and what you say here sound advice. It is almost a certainty that we are in for catastrophic times. But that doesn't mean that we do nothing. In my mind, it's highly unlikely that h. sapiens will go extinct in the near run. There will be survivors. Those who intend to survive are already following your advice. I've written some similar pieces that dovetail nicely with your project, like this one: Stay calm, and carry on! https://open.substack.com/pub/frankmoone/p/field-guide-to-active-acceptance?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

I’m doing number three. I joined my condo board and am getting active in meeting people and building bonds. Every Wednesday I sit in the office and listen to what people have to say about the community which has become very factional over the years. Learning to build bridges and sometimes walls between factions has been challenging.

Perhaps the best thing to do is fall back into concordance with our true human nature.

"The human Rights of Women are among those uncountable and naturally unalienable Rights of the Formation Document of this shared American Republic & Declaratory Charter of Our Natural Rights, which guarantees forever the Equal Station it entitles both Women and Men to."

Below is a reaffirmation & redeclaration by men of the Republic that the abovesaid is the Supreme Law of these Lands, which is in Full Force with Legal Effect to this day—For the reunification of our Country as one People against tyranny of all forms:
