Critical Capabilities Needed

πŸ”§

Vehicle Maintenance & Self-Rescue

A breakdown far from help tests your self-sufficiency. Spare tire, jack, and the skill to use them. Basic repair capability keeps you moving.

Minimum: Full spare tire + jack/wrench + knowledge to change tire + roadside kit (flares, reflectors, jumper cables)

Fuel Reserves & Efficiency

Supply disruptions happen. Keeping your tank above half and having stored fuel extends your range when stations are dry.

Minimum: Always above half tank + 5-10 gallons stored fuel with stabilizer + know your vehicle's range

Route Knowledge & Alternatives

When primary routes fail, local knowledge beats GPS. Paper maps and practiced alternates keep you moving when everyone else is stuck.

Minimum: Paper maps of your area + offline maps + practiced primary and alternate evacuation routes

Evacuation Readiness

When you have minutes to leave, only what's already packed goes with you. Go-bags and checklists prevent panic decisions.

Minimum: Go-bag per person + important documents + medications + pet supplies + evacuation checklist
