Do you draw an Event card on the first day after resolving the Chapter I card?

The designer answered this directly, though the current rulebook wording is less explicit.

Yes — according to the designer, after you set up the Objectives and place the Chapter I card in the Waste bag you draw the top Event card normally, so day one is as hard as any other. The 2019 errata says the same for starting a new day. Note that the second-edition rulebook only spells out the immediate draw for Chapters II and III, so go by the designer's ruling when in doubt.
