Adaptation Primary Checklist #Skills4Collapse

This is a condensed version of the basic adaptations required for climate change survival as outlined in the Climate Safe Villages Forums.

ClimateSafe Villages is a preparatory survival concept for individuals and communities to attempt to survive climate change. Ideally large urban populations should organise themselves into smaller networked groups of approximately 100 people/families this way everyone one is able to know & recognise each other in that group. These are referred to as hubs or local hub communities.

The Climate Safe Community is an open forum & community across the globe. This us a global crisis & we are now “in a fight for our lives”, Dr Peter Carter, IPCC Reviewer. 

ClimateSafe Villages

Basic Principles & the social contract

Skill Share Shops ideally should exist for at least 4 ClimateSafe Villages, region or city and provide expertise & independent advice in all of the essential climate change survival items below plus much more. 

A. The local hub communities encourage all their members and local citizens to start growing organic gardens everywhere to ensure an adequate and reliable food supply. Every home or building rooftop in urban areas will need a big garden to survive the worst of what is coming. Hydroponics and aquaponics will also help build food security in urban or limited land areas. You won’t be able to produce every food item you want, but if you produce a surplus in your gardens you can trade with each other or individuals outside the ClimateSafe Village for other things you will need.

B. The local eco-community must secure its energy system against extreme climate consequences. Encouraging members to gets solar and/or wind on their property is a basic step. . 

C. The local eco-community must begin quickly to protect its drinking water and sewage systems against intensified rain bombs, river and lake flooding, sea level rise, and other extreme climate consequences. Home or business water capture, rainwater harvesting and water filtration systems are a good start. These do not have to be expensing buried systems, old olive import barrels are adequate. 2100 litres is 10 barrels. 

D. Help your outside local community understand critical medical facilities, critical commodity warehouses, and other critical infrastructure and services that must be supplied and fortified against the escalating climate change and rapidly approaching climate disasters that will affect many of these communities far faster than they are prepared for.

E. There are also many other things your local stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, or rural model can do to help get your outside the ClimateSafe Village local community prepared to deal with what is coming, including creating a plan and reserving supplies for how to fairly and humanely deal with growing numbers of destitute and desperate climate migrants (internal & external)(climagees) who soon will coming from the climate unsafe areas be seeking refuge in your city, suburb or rural area.

Unfortunately with this stay-where-you-are local urban, suburban, and rural model, if you are not already in a climate safer area, there will come a point that it will no longer be safe for your group to remain in some urban, suburban or rural area. Every stay-where-you-are urban, surburban and rural satellite model should consider this possibility carefully and plan for it and its timetable long in advance.

Suppose you are currently in a climate change high-risk area. Eventually, you will have to buy some fertile land as a temporary or longer-term eco-community emergency backup and “bug-out” space. In addition, this emergency backup bug-out land would also need to be pre-stocked with everything your eco-community would need to survive for months to as long as years. In addition, you would have to have the means to transport and defend everything you will need at that new eco-community bug-out location. The painful truth is that unless you are already in a climate change-safer location to begin with, at some point, you will probably be forced to move if you want to survive.

Please note that urban and suburban ClimateSafe Villages inherently may not be able to do as much food growing as rural land-based ClimateSafe Villages because the land owned by urban and suburban members is most likely not connected and contagious. But urban and suburban members can get creative and, through networking, sharing, and trading accomplish much of the necessary climate change preparation and adaptation.

You will be on your own, you need community to do this & an inclusive life philosophy.  Hiding in a bunkers alone will send you mad. There will be no end in sight.
