Save time building out your Area Study with a complete Area Study example customized for those who live in a small town.
A small town is a great place to raise a family, but to survive a disaster in a small town, you'll need to have a firm grasp on who your neighbors are, where to find resources and how to prevent troublemakers from entering into your community.
The Small Town Hero Area Study Workbook analyzes four key areas:
- Climate and growing conditions
- Physical terrain and security considerations
- Social environment, crime and politics
- Critical infrastructure
The workbook uses a small town in Virginia as the case study, walking you through what data you need, where to get the data for your area and how to organize the information in a way that can help you form a solid plan for your family.
This workbook is available in PowerPoint and Keynote formats. It contains 145 editable slides. Each slide contains a link to websites where you can grab updated screenshots for your town. When you're done, just print out the workbook and you have your completed area study.

FAQs
How long does an Area Study take to complete?
An Area Study can be as simple or as detailed as you like.
Our workbooks contain between 125-150 pages, so plan on 2-3 hours to update the majority of the workbook with your local information.
After that there will be some areas, such as collecting neighbor information and research local groups that could take a long time if you're new to an area, or could be pretty quick if you already know your area well.
What tools do I need for my Area Study?
The minimum tools you will need is PowerPoint or Keynote, an Internet connection and Google Maps.
We recommend some premium tools like Gaiagps.com and truthfinder.com that have monthly subscription fees, but aren't necessary for the basic study.
We highly recommend printing out a physical copy of your Area Study once complete.

A good tool.
Some slides where out of place.
Secondly the items where hard to click. Some glitches with text boxes.
Fix was copy all into new PowerPoint.
I would have more tips and justifications for why these slides exist.
Example, explain why sunshine times would be important to know. Solar panel calculator as it relates to average sun in your area.
Overall very useful.
