Crisis Response Checklist: Community Protests at Mining Sites

A field-ready checklist for the first 72 hours of a community protest at a mining site. Covers five sequential elements: immediate safety assessment, establishing a direct communication channel between decision-makers, securing a short-term interim agreement, triaging critical information, and mapping key stakeholders and potential spoilers. Designed to be used on the ground, under pressure, when the priority is stabilisation, not resolution.
