Living
in interesting times, encourages pondering interesting ideas. Our world is a
mess. A cacophony of well orchestrated crises and conflict. Interesting times, indeed,
…
Knowledge
is the best defence to fear, and to this end we will explore how-to defend our
own neighbourhood. Let’s work through planning a tabletop exercise for creating
a neighbourhood defence plan. Sounds like fun…right?
We
need a scenario, a dystopian event to create challenges and context…
For
this we will turn to Eric Walters, the author of The Rule of Three
trilogy (2014, 2015, 2016):
Here
is a trailer I found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrjvkYqFq9c
The
trilogy is based on an event that impacts a community in Southern Ontario, Canada,
and the challenges the members of the community face. These books are aimed at
a young adult audience, however, the scenario presented works for all audiences
looking to create a tabletop exercise. So, before going any further go read The
RULE of THRE3 (2014), the first book in the trilogy, … we will wait.
The planning discussion will be based on the Neighbourhood Defence Plan developed by SATAS Co for thinking about solutions to the challenges presented in Eric Walters' trilogy:
 |
| Neighbourhood Defence Plan - Front |
 |
| Neighbourhood Defence Plan - Back |

Until next time...If you read a good book or three,
Challenge yourself to find solutions!
