GOBAG / THE DISASTER SCENARIO SERIES
What if?
The first day is a disruption.
The seventh needs a plan.
Ten fictional stories that start where ordinary routines stop. Think through the decisions, explore useful gear, and make the plan your own.
01
Imagine the interruption.
A short fictional opening makes the dependency visible: power, water, transport, communication, or a place to stay.
02
Think beyond tonight.
Work through the first hour, the next few days, and the point where waiting stops being the right plan.
03
Close one useful gap.
Use the checklist and relevant product examples. Start with what you own, then add only what earns its place.

When ordinary stops.
Read in order or start with the service your household depends on most.
