Hi TtC,
Thanks - you will see by my answers that I have a long way to go in developing my ideas. My highest priority now is to understand what materials I must buy while there is still a place to buy them from, but obviously there is still some macro level thinking that I clearly need to do.
No this will be very far from the City. I am expecting that the people that will go to this place will be attracted there by the operation of universal law of attraction
My mission parameters are to provide a working "staging post" that might have to last 20-30years before the next move (which will very probably be motivated due to geological movement).
These people will be awakened - but some of them might be a little late to that party and need help. Thus all those that will show up will be people like who are inner directed and have been able to keep their heads to a certain extent - working with the universe to avoid serious problems and injury. I expect a trickle of people showing up rather than a deluge, and the levels of injury to be "walking wounded" max. Since at the time when I think this will happen there will be many more healers activating, I am not to worried about it.
(By the way, I don't really want to go into WHY I think it will be this way - I did that a lot in other posts and so far people don't seem to like it very much)
So, I have been thinking that I may soon be in a position to preposition some supplies. I don't have access to vast resources, but I am not broke yet and a little goes a long way.
Although many of the challenges you have outlined I have considered, your point about phasing, the transition from the initial "recovery" stage to "sustained community" is well made and has me thinking.
*
Are you doing this near the city?
Good God no - I freaking hate cities.
*
Is there viable farm land in the region?
Yes
*
Are you going to relocate a temporary shelter or make something more permanent in a different location with better land and resources?
Don't know yet good question. Probably the former.
*
Are you doing this by yourself or do you expect everyone to help (some will not be able to)?
Initial preps yes. As people arrive they will help.
*
Are you going to use found materials from the surrounding area or do you want to get everything new?
Both.
*
Are you near a seismic or flooding area? Can your shelters sustain aftershocks or flooding?
No and no they don't exist yet. Potential threats I am in mind of are bushfires, high wind and a degree of cold that people round here are not ready for. (In NSW 8 degrees Centigrade is the end of the world for a lot of people!)
*
How fast do you want to put them up?
Weeks - but there is a lot here I have not thought through.
*
How many
Don't know yet. Initially I intend to develop a plan that scaled in units of 12. For a long time I have been thinking that proto groups would be 12 families/units.
Thanks for your reply and your searching questions! Even if the answers don't come fast, it has me thinking.
