Household Stability Plan

“When you store food, you are not storing food. You are storing evenings in which you can remain gentle.”

Household Stability Plan — One Page

Household Basics

  • ·Address, members + ages, medical needs/allergies
  • ·Emergency contacts
  • ·Meeting place if separated

Five Triggers

For each trigger (Hunger, Water, Cold/Heat/Power, Medical Need, Cash Freeze):

  • ·What "stable" looks like for your household
  • ·Weakest link — where you would fail first
  • ·Mitigations at 72 hours, 2 weeks, 1–3 months
  • ·Who does what
  • ·Where things are kept

Giving Threshold

  • ·We give from planned surplus first. We do not endanger dependents.
  • ·What we can give readily
  • ·What we protect
  • ·Priority for aid — the vulnerable first
  • ·Coordination plan

Weekly Audit

What pressure would make us compromise, and what did we do this week to remove it?
