Hesitation is what boxes people in. A tripwire is a pre-made decision: a specific, observable condition that triggers your family’s exit without a debate in a moving situation.
Download the card below and run the drill tonight: fill both cards out together at the dinner table, agree on your rally points and contacts, and stage one card in each vehicle’s visor or glove box. Then drive your alternate route to the rally point once this week, so it’s a decision instead of a guess.
Print as many as your family needs. Cut the cards out, fill them in, and keep this page handy for the day you upgrade the plan.
This card is the pocket edition of GET OFF THE X: The Urban Unrest Field Guide — nine pages: the route audit worksheet, the full six-indicator warning list, the Green-to-Red escalation ladder, the family comms plan, and both get-home kit builds. It ships with EP815 of the SITREP and lives in the Guardian library. The 7-day free trial starts tonight.
