Emergency Response + Rapid Movement + High-Risk Privacy Protocols
When things go sideways, you don’t get time to think. Crisis Mode is the system you use when the threat is active, the timeline is compressed, and you need to reduce exposure fast. This hub collects every emergency protocol, rapid re-keying workflow, evacuation guide, and physical surveillance countermeasure into one place.
If your device is compromised, your home is unsafe, or your identity trails need to be severed right now, start here.
This hub is the index. Move through the sections. Each guide handles one mechanism of crisis response. If you haven’t built your baseline yet, see Digital Lockdown. If you haven’t cleaned your identity layer, see Digital Footprint. If you are ready to start at the beginning jump into the first master guide Threat Modeling and OPSEC: A Practical Guide for Real Humans.

Emergency OPSEC Quick Checks: Rapid Exposure Diagnostics Before You Move
Quick diagnostics to confirm you’ve cut enough exposure to move. Run these before any movement to verify you’ve cut active identifiers and telemetry paths.

- Identity Exposure Snapshot
- Device Compromise Triage
- Backup Plans for Your Comms, Data, and Identity
Verification Steps
Confirm nothing is leaking, rebroadcasting, or syncing before rejoining networks or rebuilding identity. Run these after any emergency moves:
• Confirm re-key success on all devices
• Verify old tokens no longer function
• Confirm no active device telemetry (airplane mode + Faraday)
• Recheck location permissions and sync states
• Validate your new network path (VPN + DNS)
• Confirm no cloud rebroadcast from devices left behind
