Why this workbook exists
The MAGs that wait until things go sideways are already behind.
Most preparedness resources tell you to store food and buy a generator. This workbook tells you something harder: how to build a small, trusted network of people who have prepared, trained, and planned together — before an emergency makes that impossible.
“This workbook is a framework. It teaches the doctrine, gives you the templates, and walks you through the decisions you need to make. It does not contain your group’s operational information. That is deliberate.”
— From the preface
The information that matters most — member rosters, cache locations, frequencies — stays out of this binder. The workbook will show you exactly how to set that up.
What you get
Doctrine, templates, and every decision your group needs to make.
Every worksheet, every framework, every question you need to answer before the first crisis arrives.
Inside the workbook
Fourteen sections. They build on each other.
Working out of order is possible. But the early sections set the foundation for the later ones.
Go deeper on logistics
Section 10 is a starting point. Your group will need more.
The Logistics section of this workbook covers nine resource categories and gives you the planning framework to assign ownership, set floor levels, and schedule audits. That structure matters.
But logistics management is one of the most demanding operational disciplines a MAG faces. Getting it wrong means shortfalls at the worst possible time — members who thought they were covered, resources that were consumed faster than anyone expected, and no resupply plan.
The MAG Logistics & Supply Management training series is built to take your group beyond the worksheet — into the actual doctrine for ordering, tracking, distributing, and replenishing everything your group depends on.
- →Supply planning and the three item categories
- →Floor levels, cache planning, and consumption rates
- →Inventory tracking and the T-card system
- →Distribution, resupply, and shortage decisions
- →Logistics coordination across the group

- →A complete vetting and intake system
