Strategy

Our original strategy for growing this project was to put together a role-play scenario to game first-responder activities and, as soon as the pandemic reached a critical point, to trigger the activity of prepared neighborhood activists. First responders, together with local and state health officials and political leaders, would have played their roles, providing real-time opportunities to address important practical and policy issues identified during the game-play.

This proved to be a difficult strategy to implement due to the degree of complexity and buy-in required by so many people. We therefore have moved the role-play back to a later date, and are pursuing a more conventional strategy of creating a working committee which can build political and social support for the effort, and concurrently begin discussing and developing consensus around methods of preparation.

Both of these elements - building the committee and discussing preparation methods - are taking place elsewhere. To join us please contact Daniel Wolf. This site will be reserved for the content that emerges from that site's consensus-building/tool-building effort.
