===Rip it all Down===

~~The first strategy involves removing all ships, items, lab slots, silos~~, ~~assembly arrays~~ or ~~ship maintenance bays and storing them~~ in ~~a nearby station~~. You should ~~leave~~ the ~~defensive / offensive arrays for last as they are fairly inexpensive~~ and ~~if you run~~ out of ~~time they~~ will ~~still function~~ to ~~make the attacker's job much more difficult~~.

If you are running a small tower, or a medium tower with few defenses in hi-sec then you're best plan of action is to rip it all down. You're assumption should be that as soon as the war-dec goes "hot" that the tower will be put into reinforced mode within 1-3 hours and then destroyed once it comes out of reinforced mode. Any jobs in the research / manufacturing slots will need to be cancelled. The contents of any arrays (labs, hangars, manufacturing lines) will need to be emptied and carted to safety (such as a nearby station). Arrays with contents cannot be unanchored.

The major downside of this strategy is that you may find that another corp will erect a POS tower at your moon while you are occupied with the war. If you have lab slots with active jobs or manufacturing slots running, all progress on those jobs will be lost once the array is unanchored. Allow for a few hours to full disassemble a POS tower with more then a handful of modules.

As a priority, you should focus on getting the labs, arrays, silos and other assets evacuated to safety before worrying about any defensive systems. As defensive systems are inexpensive, you minimize your potential loss. If you run out of time and the defensive modules are still present, turning them all on when the war goes active will make the attacker's job more difficult.

The major downside of this strategy is that you may find that another corp will erect a POS tower at your moon while you are occupied with the war.
