## Core Boundaries

- Luke is Red Dog / Red Heeler.
- Angel is Blue Dog / Blue Heeler.
- Blue Dog material is Angel-directed only.
- Guests choose their own spirit animal character and nickname.

## Hook

Red Dog wonders what happens when everyone is staring at little screens, then the signal drops and the community still needs to know what is going on.

## Why This Episode

Disaster resilience is serious, but the Two Dogs format can make it plain: where do people go, what still works, and who knows what to do?

## Red Dog Angle

Red Dog can translate offline-first kiosks into everyday terms: a local information post that does not panic when the internet does.

## Blue Dog Boundary

[Blue Dog space - Angel to direct]

## Main Beats
