We envision an organization of like-minded people working together to promote readiness and leadership. We also envision a structure that has an information network and plans established to support the rapid deployment of personnel in the event of cataclysmic events in each of the 50 states and Canada.
Our desire is to provide a forum and an organization that teaches preparedness and develops leaders and citizens that are prepared and can assume authority positions in the event of crisis be it natural disaster or man-made.
In the absence of civil architecture we will re-establish community and authority in accordance with the rules of civil society with respect to the individual freedoms, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States.
Laws are to be made with common sense and understandable to those who have to live by them. As long as the current system is in place, we follow the rules and laws or we embark on an effort to get them changed. We adhere to the rules of a decent, civilized society and conform to acceptable standards of appearance and lifestyle. The rule to follow is, "Treat others and their property with the same respect that you expect to be treated, defend those who cannot defend themselves and participate in your community and government."
Being prepared is only one phase of NorthStar Preparedness Network. The four phases are: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
Mitigation refers to activities that actually eliminate or reduce the chance of occurrence or the effects of disaster.
Preparedness is planning how to respond in case an emergency or disaster occurs and working to increase resources available to respond effectively.
Response activities occur during and immediately following a disaster. We are trained to provide emergency assistance to victims of the event and reduce the likelihood of secondary damage. Your local fire department, rescue squad and emergency medical services are primary responders.
Recovery continues until all systems return to normal or near normal. Short-term recovery returns vital life support systems to minimum operating standards. Long-term recovery from a disaster may go on for years until the entire disaster area is completely redeveloped either as it was n the past or for entirely new purposes.
To accomplish these four phases requires a national network of groups dedicated to preparedness and survival training of the highest quality.
