Protect Your
Tribe
We live in a chaotic, congested and confusing world. We — the people — are now the targets in a global information war of dominance, and trust in our institutions is at an all-time low.
At times like this, we must revert to those we can trust the most. Our tribe. Our village, our street, our apartment block. The duty is on you to form your tribe and prepare to support yourselves where the system has failed.
This concept transcends most characteristics — with the exception of a few: trust, selfless commitment, courage and integrity.
This is not about politics, ideology or division. It is about rebuilding community spirit, confidence and self-sufficiency — the things that used to hold neighbourhoods together and still can. Every background, every belief, every walk of life is welcome here.
All you need to start is to share this page with a few trusted friends, neighbours or colleagues.

Build Your Tribe
You don't need a committee, a budget, or permission. You need a few people you'd trust in a crisis — and a place to meet if everything else fails.
Set Your RV — Right Now
An RV (rendezvous point) is a physical location your group agrees to meet at if mobile networks, internet and power all fail simultaneously. Pick it before you need it. Every cell must have one.
Primary RV
Walking distance. A pub car park, church, park entrance — somewhere visible and open.
Secondary RV
A backup in case the primary is inaccessible (flooded, cordoned, unsafe).
Check-in time
A fixed time everyone shows up if they haven't heard from each other in X hours.
How to Form Your Group
Follow these steps in order. Don't rush past step 4.

The 7 Core Roles
Coordinator
Leads during an incident. Makes decisions. One person, one voice.
Deputy Coordinator
Takes over if the coordinator is unavailable. Must be able to do everything the coordinator does.
Welfare Lead
Tracks vulnerable residents. Runs welfare checks. Manages the welfare point.
Comms Operator
Manages all communications — phone tree, radios, written notices if networks fail.
Logistics
Equipment, supplies, storage, checking schedule. Knows where everything is.
Records
Maintains the incident log. Every action, every time. One log, one person.
Community Liaison
The boots on the ground. Leaflets, door knocks, post office windows, community boards. Recruits new members and keeps the neighbourhood informed — old school, face to face.
Find Your Community Space
Alongside the RV — your emergency fallback point — every group needs a permanent, known community space. A physical place where people can turn up, talk in person, and find information. Not online. In real life.
What the Hub Does
- •Central information point during an emergency — residents know where to go
- •Volunteer registration point — people who want to help report here first
- •A space for real conversation, away from screens and algorithms
- •Community noticeboard for verified, local information
- •Base for the Liaison role — leaflets distributed and collected from here
- •A known, permanent, trusted location that pre-exists any emergency
Where to Find It
- •Community centre or village hall — ideal first choice
- •Church or place of worship — widely trusted, often available
- •Local pub with a function room — approachable and central
- •School hall outside hours — good for larger gatherings
- •Residents' association space
- •A member's home as a temporary starting point
Scaling Into Sub-Cells
A small group covers one street or block. As the movement grows, split into sub-cells — each self-sufficient, each covering a defined area. A cell is only as strong as its coordinator and its 2IC. Keep them small, keep them tight.
Cell Structure
Coordinator (1)
Leads the cell. One voice. Final call.
2IC — Deputy (1)
Steps up when coordinator is unavailable. Manages shift handovers.
Core Members (4–8)
Assigned roles, defined area, scheduled shifts. Each knows their job before anything happens.
Defined Area
Each cell covers a specific zone — a street, a block, a group of roads. No overlap, no gaps. The Liaison role maps and owns it.
Scheduled Shifts
During an active emergency, cells work in shifts. A rested person makes better decisions than an exhausted one. Rotate every 4–6 hours.
Cell Reports Up
Each coordinator reports to the central hub. Information flows up the chain, decisions flow back down. One briefing, one log.
When to Split
Split a cell when it grows beyond 10 active members, when the geographic area becomes too large for one coordinator to know personally, or when response times suffer because people don't know each other. A cell of 6 people who trust each other is worth more than 20 strangers with matching jackets.
The rule: every member of a cell should know every other member by name.
What To Do When It Happens

You don't need a uniform, a budget, or permission. You need three or four willing neighbours, a meeting point, and the commitment to be ready. Even if nothing major ever happens — it may save a neighbour who falls on the landing.
"Someone must make the call. That person may need to be you."
