Checklists - arriving to the retreat

Retreat Checklists - checklists to be used once relocation to retreat has occurred. Checklists will aide in making sure things are started in an orderly and efficient manner with minimal oversight.

This list is for a retreat that is actually a house in the country and a full time residence. Group members will be arriving at the retreat should some "event" transpire.

Any suggested additions or changes to the checklist? This will involve approx 4-5 families with varying age groups and 2 teenagers and a couple younger under-10 kids. Most all supplies are already pre-positioned at the retreat.

Day 1 Checklist - first 24 hours upon arrival:

Injuries? Check and treat.
Gather facts from all groups members
What has been seen and where?
What has been heard? Source?
Make sure everyone is informed and educated on all information.
Notes should be taken to reference later rather than relying on memory.
Determine potential threats if any? If so set up security watch right away.
Get someone on commo to gain intelligence/information. This includes internet/radio/TV/social media/Ham/CB
