Title: The Need to Formalize Mutual Assistance Agreements
Post by: David-Audrey on April 22, 2022, 11:07:58 AM
As promised during the last Prepper Net Transmission...I'm posting here my latest version of an agreement for "Mutual Assistance."

In the event of an emergency, especially a major one, it could be very beneficial if like-minded people could band together to help each other.  But when you get a group, who leads, how are resources to be allocated, when are things done and in what order and much more.  If there is no agreement in place, then all of this must be discussed and agreed to DURING THE EMERGENCY!  That will take precious time, and it will undoubtedly include working out compromises when there are differing views. 

That's why having a "written" agreement in place before the emergency makes so much sense.  Everything can be discussed and agreed to before the emergency so that when it occurs, there is no wasted time, energy or added stress.

And in an emergency, added stress is NOT A GOOD THING!  If there is a serious emergency, and especially if it's a major one, everyone will be placed under tremendous pressure and stress.  The fear, pressure and stress will surely translate into strong emotions. 

So, when someone disagrees with almost anything the chances for tempers to flare, arguments and worse is going to be high.  And let's face it, if we are arguing about what steps and how to take those steps is going on, that's wasted time.

Wouldn't it be better if everyone agreed up front about, literally, everything!  Who the boss is, how to use resources, and even HOW TO DISAGREE!  Especially if the group includes "extended" family?

I and Jerry D. Young have been working on a "Master Agreement" for, literally, years.  As promised, I'm posting it here for your review and use.  There is only one stipulation/requirement.  You cannot sell the agreement or make money from it in any way without PRIOR APPROVAL.

JDY has granted me the privilege of proof/pre-reading a couple of his new stories.  I'm also doing that on the 4th ed of the Survival and Austere Medicine book.

I've read the document, there seems to be some influence from the late 230gr.

Attached is a text doc with suggestions and opinions:

I am new here, but would like to say, this is a well prepared write up and guide.

Good document and guide.  At minimum, a good way to network and learn from one another.  While the Radio Net is great, meeting in person is best.
