All crisis survival begins with a strategy and includes recognizing a coming crisis, preplanning and preparation
Planning - To successfully survive a crisis and to be prepared to rebuild after it passes a plan for each type of expected crisis must be completed. The plan would included what to bring, where to go, what will trigger the plan and who to include.
Financial - A major component of crisis survival and reconstruction is a financial plan. What to do with your money, what will be valuable during and after a crisis and how much is needed are some of the questions that must be answered.
Information - Two major categories of information exists:
- Current information, and
- Information that will be used during a crisis.
It is important to know which type is necessary when, where to get reliable information and how to store it for easy access.

During a crisis safety is paramount and includes the use of force, dealing with groups, and medical issues.

Force - Physical and non-physical as well as lethal and non-lethal are just some of the types of force that can be employed to protect you and your family.
Groups - Safety can be found in numbers. Knowing what type of groups form during a crisis and how they will react can save your life.
Medical - The issue can range from what medicines that you need on a daily basis to how to treat an injury or illness during a crisis.

To survive a crisis, shelter from weather, danger and disease must be found or created.
Type - The type of shelter varies according to situation, what is available and whether it is to be permanent or temporary.
Areas - Each area provides unique advantages and disadvantages to finding or constructing a shelter. Knowing what is available and where safety can be found is necessary for each area you will be in during a crisis.
Protection - For a shelter to be effective it must protect you from outside threats which include weather, people and disease.
