I'm going to try and post pieces of my Preparedness Strategic Plan here as I come up with them. Please feel free to give constructive criticism of them as I post them.
For example, the first topic of my plan might be something as simple as "Water"....
Water
Guidelines - 1 gallon per person per day potable water. Non-potable water as needed for hygiene purposes.
Stored
Bottled Water - "flats" of bottled water
5 gallon Jugs - good for having on hand in case of evac.
55 gallon Drums - can not be moved once filled, need pump to get water out of them.
Alternative Water Sources
Well - needs to be filtered to be potable
Pond - needs to be filtered and purified to be potable
Rain Collection - needs to be filtered to be potable
Toilet Tanks & Water Heater
Scenarios:
Loss of Utilities: Use stored water for drinking and cooking
Use Pond or Well water for flushing toilets
Use Well water for bathing
Shelter in Place: Use Stored Water for drinking and cooking
If possible, fill additional containers for non-potable water
Evacuation: Take 5 gallon Jugs - (1) per person
Take as much bottled water as possible
Use water filter to refill as possible
Notes: Stored water needs to be rotated every 3 months. Need to be able to gather and transport non-potable water for flushing toilets, bathing etc. Need to be able to filter water to make it potable at home and in case of evac.
This is just a start to my overall Preparedness Strategic Plan. I'll post more as I get them written up. They're all subject to change. Typing them out helps me solidify them and think about different possible scenarios I may need to deal with.

I also have been working on something kind of similar, and yes it is a challenge. I'm leaning more towards working up Standard Operating Guidelines for differant scenarios tiered in order of probability and severity, then I'm working on standard gear and supply lists. I look forward to seeing more from you on this subject.
