The International Preppers Network forum exists to promote the idea of personal responsibility in regards to preparedness in the face of natural and manmade disasters. It is the mission of the administrator to bring this idea to the forefront of mainstream thinking and bring everyone into the mindset of being ready to feed and protect themselves and their loved ones in the face of tragedy. Disasters can take many forms from a loss of family income to devastating incidents that disrupt infrastructure and the normal distribution of goods and services that support the basic human needs of food, water, shelter, and security. It is the mission of this forum to inform people of the true and realistic dangers that put these basic human needs at risk and to teach each other ways to mitigate and protect ourselves from these dangers.
