Watching the news incessantly to learn about increased volatility and places to avoid

Beefing up the security at home (building fortifications, keeping track of family, arming oneself, etc.)

Only leaving home when it’s absolutely necessary

Being careful with one’s words due to not knowing who can be trusted

Watching for indicators that one is being surveilled for signs of disloyalty

Avoiding the most dangerous areas, even if it means a big inconvenience

Stockpiling or rationing emergency supplies

Becoming averse to waste of food, fuel, water, clothing, etc.

Worrying over small things; one’s mind jumping to the worst-case scenario

Marking possible exits and escape routes

Preparing an emergency evacuation kit in case one must leave immediately

Not helping others in situations where one would have in the past

Researching topics (such as home remedies, basic first aid, or trapping and hunting) so one can be more independent
