Sector Telemetry Overview

Live telemetry calculated instantly from baseline household parameters.

// Water
7 days
OK
2.0 gal/day for 2 people
// Food
10 days
OK
40,000 kcal on hand
// Fuel
1.3 days
CRITICAL
4.0 gal/day
// Limiting Resource
Fuel runs out first, in about 1.3 days.

Food Inventory & Austere Provisioning

Calories per unit = servings ร— calories per serving. Expired items are excluded.

Water Reserves & Filtration

Hydration Directive: "The best container for water is your body." Never arbitrarily ration emergency drinking water below baseline physiological needs during high heat or stress to prevent acute renal shutdown.

Fuel, Generator & Solar Power

Solar Power Bank Recommendation: Stockpile rugged, high-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) portable solar power banks (e.g., 300Whโ€“1000Wh stations paired with foldable 100Wโ€“200W solar panels). They provide silent, zero-emission charging for communications, medical devices, and LED lighting without fuel dependency or carbon monoxide hazards.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Run fuel generators strictly outdoors, at least 20 feet away from structures, windows, and air intakes.

Clinical & TCCC Protocol Library

Advanced tactical protocols, prescription buffers, and austere medical references.

// 90-Day Prescription Buffer Directive

Maintain a strict 90-day supply buffer for all essential maintenance medications. Coordinate proactively with your primary care physician and insurance provider ahead of contingencies to secure an authorized emergency 90-day override supply.

// M - Massive Hemorrhage (M.A.R.C.H. P.A.W.S.)

Apply windlass tourniquet high and tight on extremities. For junctional sites (groin/axilla), pack wound firmly with hemostatic gauze and maintain direct pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes. Re-evaluate distal pulses.

// A - Airway Management

Clear blood, vomit, and debris manually. Insert Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) lubricated with water-soluble jelly. Place unconscious casualties in the recovery position. Prepare for surgical cricothyroidotomy if maxillofacial trauma obstructs airway.

// R - Respiration & Tension Pneumothorax

Apply vented chest seals on exhalation for sucking chest wounds. Monitor continuously for tension pneumothorax (absent breath sounds, progressive respiratory distress, tracheal deviation, hemodynamic collapse); perform immediate needle decompression at 2nd intercostal space mid-clavicular line or 5th intercostal anterior axillary line.

// C - Circulation & Shock Management

Re-assess tourniquets and pressure dressings. Establish IV or IO access if indicated for fluid resuscitation or blood product administration. Administer tranexamic acid (TXA) within 3 hours of injury if severe internal hemorrhage or hemorrhagic shock is suspected.

// H - Hypothermia & Head Injuries

Wrap casualty in active or passive warming blankets to prevent the lethal triad of trauma (hypothermia, acidosis, coagulopathy). Monitor level of consciousness (AVPU / GCS) and pupillary response for traumatic brain injury (TBI).

// P.A.W.S. - Pain, Antibiotics, Wound, Splint

P - Pain Management: Administer oral analgesics (Meloxicam / Tylenol) or Ketamine if trained/indicated.
A - Antibiotics: Initiate broad-spectrum oral prophylaxis (Moxifloxacin) for open wounds.
W - Wounds & Burns: Dress burns with clean dry sterile dressings; immobilize fractures.
S - Splinting & Documentation: Secure fractures and record all interventions on TCCC Card (DD Form 1380).

// Pharmaceuticals & Sensitive Populations

Pediatric Adjustments: Never administer adult weight-based dosages without verified pediatric dosing charts or Broselow tape metrics. Shake liquid suspensions thoroughly after thermal storage swings.
Geriatric Precautions: Adjust NSAID and antibiotic dosing for reduced baseline renal clearance.
Thermal Preservation: Store pharmaceuticals within 59ยฐFโ€“86ยฐF. Protect insulin and liquid biologics from grid-down summer heat spikes using insulated containers or subterranean caches.

Map, Home & Emergency Directory

Set your home once. While you still have internet, tap Update to save the map, the nearest emergency facilities and driving routes from home. After that, everything on this tab works with no signal.

// Nearest Facilities From Home

Set your home and tap Update to fill this list.

Facility names, addresses and phone numbers come from OpenStreetMap community data. Entries marked VERIFY should be confirmed before an emergency. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

// Offline Emergency Directory

Populate or review critical local numbers. Auto-populated by zip code.

// Tactical & Channel Frequencies

  • GMRS / FRS Channel 1 (462.5625 MHz): Primary family tactical / local comms.
  • MURS Channel 1 (151.820 MHz): Alternative VHF short-range tactical channel.
