The Last Mile of Preparedness We are reaching the end of this series of tips to help prepare you, your family, and your community for al-Qaeda’s current homeland plotting. Many of the tips are saved under my highlights tab if you missed them. You already know what you need to do. It is time to stop waiting for another round of guidance and tighten up the plans you’ve already put into place. As I have made clear, we do preparedness for as long as the terrorists remain in their pre-attack phase. They are now only a couple of weeks away from moving into their operational phase. That is when your posture must shift as well: from preparing to being vigilant, disciplined, and ready to act. This requires a major reset in mindset. But you can do it. You are so much more prepared than you think. Here is a final checklist to run through: • Review your family emergency action plan. Make sure every member knows where to meet, who to call, and what to do if communications fail. • Build a communication-down plan: pre-set meeting points, printed contacts, backup devices, and old phones or battery-powered radios if you have them. • Update all emergency contacts on paper and in devices. Keep a hard copy in your go bags. • Identify a safe, neutral meeting point outside your neighborhood in case your immediate area becomes inaccessible. • Make sure your go bags are packed: medications, IDs, flashlights, headlamps,chargers, water, power banks, and basic first aid. Include N95 masks for debris and sturdy gloves. • Keep multiple light sources in your home, vehicle, and go bags: small flashlights, headlamps, and extra batteries. • Know how to safely shut off household utilities (gas, water, electricity) and ensure that locks, windows, and basic home safety measures are functioning. • Confirm evacuation and shelter-in-place routes. Practice “getting off the X” with calm, simple walk-throughs as places you will frequent over the holiday Christmas season and New Years. • Strengthen your physical security posture: identify solid cover, know your exits, and place yourself where you can move quickly and safely if needed. • Keep at least one week of food and drinking water at home. This is your buffer if infrastructure is strained or travel is restricted. • Keep extra essential medications on hand if possible; a two-week buffer is ideal. Include any medical-specific items your family needs. • Have backup power: charged power banks, a small battery station if you own one, extra charging cables for every device and every vehicle. • Cash is king, keep enough cash at home in case ATMs or digital payments go down. • Update your digital readiness: download offline maps, critical documents scanned, alert apps installed, and encrypted communication tools ready. • Secure essential documents: IDs, passports, birth certificates, insurance policies, and medical records scanned and stored safely (digital + paper). • Review your awareness habits: know exits everywhere you go, trust your gut, and move early if something feels wrong. • Check trauma kit: tourniquets, pressure bandages, gauze, gloves, and take Stop the Bleed or do a quick trauma refresher. • Review indicators of chemical or biological exposure so you can recognize symptoms early and avoid secondary contamination. Assume any explosion could contain caustic components. • Wear the right shoes and clothing for the environment you are traveling through. If you end up in a ground stop, you may have to evacuate on foot. Be ready to do that safely. • Keep backup walking shoes in your car or at work. • Keep a small “stuck away from home” kit in your work bag or purse: water, snacks, charger, flashlight, and basic first aid. • Keep an emergency kit in every vehicle: water, blanket or jacket, flashlight, charger, roadside reflectors or flares, and both a basic first-aid kit and a trauma kit. • Know at least two hospitals and two urgent-care centers near your home, workplace, and your children’s school. • If you rely on medical devices, know your power-backup options. • Practice calm communication lines: clear, direct, reassuring language that keeps everyone focused, especially children. Use quick text codes within your family. • Have a plan with your community network: neighbors, coworkers, and friends who can support each other if systems fail. • Have transportation contingencies: alternate routes, backup options, and awareness of choke points. • Include pets in your planning: food, carriers, medications, and a way to move them quickly if you need to leave. • Know nearby public locations that can serve as shelter if something happens while you’re out being libraries, schools, large retail stores, medical buildings, hotels, and religious institutions. • Remember: your vehicle is part of your safety plan: a way to create distance, avoid danger, and if needed, it can be used as a weapon. Keep your fuel above half a tank. Position your vehicle so you are never boxed in. • If a weapon is part of your personal security plan, it must be on you. It does no good stored elsewhere. Carry it responsibly, preferably concealed and low-profile. • If in a responder role, consider protective equipment such as Level IV body armor and ballistic helmets. These are not tactical accessories, they are life‑saving tools that buy time, create options, and allow you to stay in the fight long enough to get yourself and others to safety. This is the transition. Know your plan. Know your people. Know that you are ready. Since January, we have traveled to more than a dozen states and spoken with thousands of law enforcement officers. The takeaway has been the same everywhere: this is a community problem. No single agency, no single family, no single person can carry this alone. Readiness now has to live at the local level: in your family, in your neighborhoods, in your workplaces, in your schools, and every place where you depend on one another. The federal government isn't coming to save you. Your preparation matters not just for you, but for everyone around you. This next phase will require a community that is aware, calm, connected, and ready to act together.
