Mar. 28th, 2025 05:11 pmCrisis Planning: The Hit-By-A-Bus Plan
Series: Essay (crisis planning)

Word Count: 2500
Notes: Winner of this month’s fan poll. You should definitely read How To Make A Pocket Crisis Guide first! The blank worksheets are here.
The hit-by-a-bus plan is for when you are suddenly unable to perform your usual duties or communicate the need to get them done to others—such as when you are suddenly committed to a mental hospital, kidnapped, or hit by a bus and put in a coma. The plan is especially for people without spouse or families. Getting hit by a bus may be unavoidable, but less so is getting fired (or a pet dying) because you aren’t there and nobody knows what happened or what to do. It has two components: prep work for yourself (for psychological crisis), and stuff for helpers to do on your behalf afterward (general purpose).
