Welcome to the internet.

Ten good books on growing, cobb house building, bushcraft, home remedies will replace most of your needed human resources... in a nasty prolonged situation the real need (after water and food) is defense. Ten days of chaos would send millions into the streets seeking anything and everything from those that have.The ability to defend is paramount.

I have most of those "archetypes" covered except the elder.... proficiency with some is low in my personal opinion but still certainly higher than the "average" person. I'm a prior military technician (engineer), with a back ground and family history of pioneering and homesteading. Guess I'd be "that" guy you'd want to have in your group... cover most of it with one person..... except I live out west. I blacksmith too... I'm the ideal "self-sufficient mountain man".

If an event like this happens for a long enough term you will need someone with a farm type home and plenty of land,disconnect the gas,sewer and block it off. With out utility workers running our systems all of the homes within cities will become death traps for various reasons. Long term,you will have to leave for the vacant countryside. Life without workers operating these systems or properly shut down,the inner cities will become uninhabitable.
