Despite potentially being a social or networked problem, you still can not expect your own "elite" behavior to help : networked means are still required.
Principle
Provide an intellectual toolkit to recover after a collapse situation ahead of it so that one can efficiently solve the problems when the time is needed.
Process
- locating resources
- water source
- eventually purification
http://www.alpharubicon.com/kids/homemadeberkeydaire.htmthis must be replaced by the summarized principle as the material required might not be available then
- eventually purification
- food source
- making it sustainable
- water source
- eventually heating conservation means
- locate the nearest redcross/whatever gathering
- do Y
- do Y.a
- do Y.b
- do Z
Resources (to integrate in the process)
- ?
- ?
Remarks
- it is not a jump back in historical time
- we should be able to leverage more recent knowledge and technology (even with an energy crisis) but also some past opportunities (thus will lower investment cost) would have disappeared
To do
- make it "algo-like" (step by step, eventually rec)
- list the existing handbook, make mirrors to always have it packed, ready to go
