Yesterday, the President of the United States announced that World War III broke out and the country is a target for nuclear warfare. There is hope however—there is a secret bomb shelter in the Mojave Desert. In addition to elected officials and military personnel, the President wants qualified civilians to enter the shelter as well. These civilians will be responsible for carrying on society in the case that the country is obliterated. As a member of his advisory council, the President has asked you to help him develop the selection criteria for those civilians who will be allowed to use the bomb shelter.

Brainstorm a list of all possible criteria the President could use in determining which civilians should be allowed to go into the bomb shelter. Narrow the list down to three and rank order this list from most important consideration to last consideration.
