# Source pattern and attribution

This original skill was informed by *Ready Together: An Emergency Preparedness
Handbook for You and Your Neighbors*, hosted by Mutual Aid Disaster Relief:

https://mutualaiddisasterrelief.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Ready-Together-An-Emergency-Preparedness-Handbook-for-You-and-Your-Neighbors.pdf

The handbook's acknowledgements credit individuals and organizations including
Transition US, the City of Renton Office of Emergency Management, and NewStories.
Hosting does not establish authorship. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

The relevant design pattern is a facilitated progression from shared concerns to
individual and collective action, supported by worksheets and later practice.
Useful starting locations in the PDF are its overview (printed p. 3), group setup
(pp. 5–7), exercises (pp. 13–14), investment menus (pp. 15–16), role exercise (p. 28),
practice/review (pp. 37–39), and facilitator guidance (pp. 66–68).

The skill's generalization beyond preparedness, structured plan, checker, templates,
and fictional examples are new design work. The skill does not require the original
chapter sequence, quotations, role cards, or worksheets. The source's technical
instructions are not a maintained source of current medical, engineering, food,
water, or emergency advice. Research those claims for the actual place and time.

Link and attribute the source; do not bundle the PDF or copy its illustrations,
worksheets, or substantial text without verifying reuse rights. The repository's
MIT license covers the original contribution, not the source handbook.
