What is a Mutual Aid Group

A Mutual Aid Group (aka Mutual Assistance Group) is a group of like-minded individuals who pledge to assist each other in times of crisis. They can provide essential support in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency or catastrophic event.

Members of a MAG might be the local parents of a cul-de-sac, or a mesh-network of professionals across a city. In either instance, coordinating redundant material caches, testing EmComm playbooks, developing bylaws, and coordinating operational expenses to leverage buying and storage power of a group is key.
Why We Are Different

Learn more about our values and approach

 
PHILOSOPHY

Our mindset is to live for the best - plan for the worst. The fear-based "the sky is falling" approach is not an effective disposition to build strategies.

 
ACCESS TO MATERIALS

We run our own international supply chains and can acquire our clients material goods and hardware, even when Amazon runs out. 

 
PRIVATE NETWORKS

We have been running our own private, high-availability cloud since 2007. Our existing in-place infrastructure allow us to spin up solutions on demand.
