Framework
OMC-FWK-001 · OmniCORE Readiness Framework
Start here. The framework every OmniCORE plan and guide builds on: six tiers, from foundations to a year or more, across twelve capability areas (water, food, warmth, health, sanitation, power, communications, information, safety, evacuation, finances and community). Score your household, find your weakest area, and close one gap at a time.
Plans
OMC-PLN-001 · Family Grid-Down Preparedness Plan
A layered plan for getting a household through a power outage lasting from one week to one year. It covers water, food, cooking, heat, power, medical, sanitation, communications and money, plus a family rally plan, special considerations for people and animals with extra needs, and a household planning worksheet.
OMC-PLN-002 · Family Communications Plan
How your household stays in touch, and gets back together, when phones and the internet are slow, overloaded or gone. A PACE plan, meeting points and check-in times, a simple GREEN / YELLOW / RED status message, radio options for countries around the world, tier-by-tier checklists, drills, and three fill-in worksheets.
Worksheets
OMC-WKS-003 · Wallet Emergency Contact Card
A fold-over card the size of a bank card, four to a printed sheet: key contacts, out-of-area contacts and your emergency number on the front; meeting points, check-in times, radio channel and the GREEN / YELLOW / RED status message on the back. One for everyone in the household.
OMC-WKS-004 · Go-Bag Checklist
A go-bag for each person for about three days, grab lists for when you have 5, 15 or 60 minutes to leave, and a worksheet showing where everything is kept and who grabs it.
