The 30-Minute Window
A Family Evacuation Plan You Can Build Tonight
A border escalation hits the news. Your wife calls. You have maybe 30 minutes before the roads clog. Where do you go? What do you grab? Who do you call first?
The Family Emergency Plan
One Page Your Whole Family Should Know
If something happened while your family was scattered (you at work, wife at home, kids at school, parents across town), does everyone know what to do? Where to meet? Who to call? If the answer is 'we'd figure it out,' that's not a plan.
Your Go-Bag
Pack Once, Grab It When You Need It
When the moment comes, you won't have time to gather everything. Pack the bag tonight, put it by the front door, and check it every 3 months. That's the whole system.
Sattu, Chana, and Staying Fed

Karachi's water supply is fragile on a good day. In a crisis, it's the first utility to fail. Three purification methods using materials from any local market, plus how much you actually need per person.
