COVENANT // AO OVERWATCH

MODULE 01 · COVENANT

Neighbor Registry

Document neighbors and nearby households — their rough capabilities, resources, and preparedness awareness level.

COVENANT is the tier below Allied Force — your informal neighborhood network before you have a formal MAG agreement. Not everyone in your neighborhood is a prepared group — but most have skills, tools, or resources that matter in a crisis. Document what you observe and what you learn through normal interaction. This is not intelligence collection — it is community awareness. Use first names or descriptors only, no full identifiers.

Approach Strategy

Plan how to have the preparedness conversation with neighbors — what to say, what not to say, how to gauge their response.

The preparedness conversation is one most people never have because they don't know how to start it. The key is framing around normal events — "with all these storms, I've been thinking about keeping more food on hand" rather than "I think civilization is collapsing." Document your approach for different neighbor types: the skeptic, the interested-but-overwhelmed, the quietly prepared, and the already-thinking-about-it. Your first goal is to identify who is open to further conversation.

Resource Sharing Agreements

Document informal resource sharing agreements with neighbors — who has what, what has been agreed to share in what circumstances.

Informal resource sharing does not need to be a formal document — but it does need to be thought through in advance. Agreeing in principle during a calm moment is far easier than negotiating during a crisis. Document what you have agreed to share (generator use hours, tool loans, bulk food purchases), under what conditions, and with whom. This is not a legal agreement — it is a record of community commitments.

Neighborhood Skills Map

Identify the skills and capabilities distributed across your neighborhood — medical, mechanical, agricultural, construction, and professional.

Most neighborhoods contain far more capability than anyone realizes — retired nurses, mechanics with full shop equipment, people with deep food gardens, former military, licensed electricians. A neighborhood that knows what it has can mobilize it. Document skills you have confirmed through conversation or observation. Do not guess or assume. Skills that are offered voluntarily are far more reliable than skills you expect someone to provide under pressure.

Network Relationship Map

Document your neighbor network by relationship tier — close trusted, known and friendly, aware of, and unknown.

Not all neighbor relationships are equal. Tier your relationships honestly: those you would actively coordinate with in a crisis, those you would help and receive help from, those you know well enough to check on, and those you don't know at all. Document each tier and what you know about each household. This map tells you where your network is strong and where there are gaps — unknown households between your location and a trusted neighbor, for example.
