Civil Defence Emergencies
In the event of a large-scale civil emergency a good policy to adopt would be to have house #1 of each street be the go-to place for information and supplies. The people from #1 houses can meet at the nearest school hall or church and easily spread information throughout the community. This should help to cut down on the mass confusion that would be caused if, say, everything electronic was to be destroyed.
The key is to be able to instantly build a decentralised network of support units that don’t rely on technology more advanced than walking and talking.
