## Perplexity Deep Research (merged)

Raw sequential Deep Research reports (kept for audit; **do not delete**):

| # | File | Topic |
| --- | --- | --- |
| P01 | [perplexity/01-uk-official-prepare.md](perplexity/01-uk-official-prepare.md) | UK Prepare / Red Cross baseline |
| P02 | [perplexity/02-flood-cumbria.md](perplexity/02-flood-cumbria.md) | Flood — Eden / Carlisle / Cumberland |

**Merge artefacts**

- [MERGE-NOTES.md](MERGE-NOTES.md) — net-new facts, conflicts resolved toward UK primary sources, claims to IGNORE
- [16-perplexity-deep-research-digest.md](16-perplexity-deep-research-digest.md) — offline ESSENTIAL/USEFUL digest (~9 KB), de-duplicated against 01–15

Prefer chapters **01–15** + **16** for day-to-day use; open `perplexity/` only when you need the long-form research trail.


## Maintenance

- Re-fetch Prepare, ENWL, UU, EA, Met Office pages after major campaign updates.
- Re-verify Anker/Starlink watt-hour figures against device labels and current manuals.
- Household should add private annex (not in this corpus): shut-off locations, policy numbers, vet, nearest pharmacy, neighbour ICE tree.
