For example, as discussed further below, in some cases there may be a need to reposition the container to a second predetermined location. On the other hand, unauthorized movement of the container may also occur through theft, damage, or other unauthorized sources. Furthermore, the container may exhibit unwanted movement as a result of the civilly-catastrophic event itself. The locating signal, therefore, will permit the authorized beneficiary or other authorized personnel to locate the container after such movement.
  • the transportable container may be mislabeled as to its contents so that a non-subscriber or non-authorized beneficiary is unaware of the at least one resource provided by the container.
  • the mislabeling can be in the form of an absence of a label or possibly an incorrect label as to the container's resource.
  • the incorrect label may be in the form of a code such that only those aware of the code are apprised of the container's resource. In this manner, only subscribers or authorized beneficiaries would be knowledgeable about the container's resource.
  • an outer surface of the container may include an indicia so that the container is highly visible.
  • the outer surfaces of the container may be painted a distinctive color or have easily recognizable markings (such as stripes, shapes, multi-colors) rendering the position of the container obvious to an authorized beneficiary.
  • Such indicia may be advantageous in the event the container is partially covered with debris or other materials after experiencing the civilly-catastrophic event.
  • this process 100 then provides for accepting 102 consideration-based private civil security subscriptions from subscribers with respect to providing civilly-catastrophic event-based access to the transportable container.
  • This right of access can pertain, if desired, to a predetermined period of time.
  • a given subscription can relate to providing access to the transportable container for a one year period of time for one or more authorized beneficiaries as correspond to that subscription.
  • these subscriptions may be accepted by, for example, a for-profit business.
  • a not-for-profit business such as a membership-based entity
  • a plurality of differentiated subscription opportunities can be offered.
  • This plurality of differentiated subscription opportunities can correspond, for example, to providing access to differing transportable containers, contents, or both.
  • such subscription opportunities can differ from one another at least with respect to cost.
  • This provides subscriber choice with respect to selecting a particular subscription that best meets their specific needs and/or budget limitations. For example, one subscription can provide for access to a relatively large transportable container that contains a relatively large store of resources while another less expensive subscription can provide for access to a relatively smaller transportable container than contains a relatively smaller store of resources.
  • different subscriptions can be provided that reflect different combinations and quantities of the resources that are pre-positioned within the transportable containers. Other possibilities are of course possible.
  • these subscriptions relate to providing access to one or more transportable containers having at least one resource in the event of a civilly-catastrophic event.
  • Such access may be predicated, if desired, upon a requirement that the civilly-catastrophic event be one that persists in substantial form for more than a predetermined period of time (such as one hour, one day, one week, and so forth) or that causes at least a predetermined amount or degree of infrastructure impairment or other measurable impact of choice.
  • a predetermined period of time such as one hour, one day, one week, and so forth
  • such access may be predicated, if desired, upon a requirement of a particular level of objectively or subjectively ascertained likelihood that a particular category or kind of civilly-catastrophic event will occur within a particular period of time.
  • civilly-catastrophic event will be understood to refer to an event that substantially and materially disrupts a society's local, regional, and/or national infrastructure.
  • a civilly-catastrophic event can include both a precipitating event (which may occur over a relatively compressed period of time or which may draw out over an extended period of time) as well as the resultant aftermath of consequences wherein the precipitating event and/or the resultant aftermath include both the cause of the infrastructure interruption as well as the continuation of that interruption.
  • a civilly-catastrophic event can be occasioned by any of a wide variety of natural and/or non-naturally-caused disasters.
  • natural disasters that are potentially capable of initiating a civilly-catastrophic event include, but are not limited to, extreme weather-related events (such as hurricanes, tsunamis, extreme droughts, widespread or unfortunately-targeted tornadoes, extreme hail or rain, and the like, flooding, and so forth), extreme geological events (such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and so forth), extreme space-based collisions (as with comets, large asteroids, and so forth), extreme environmental events (such as widespread uncontrolled fire or the like), a severe disease-based event, a severe agricultural event (such as a large scale crop failure), a severe natural shortage of a life-sustaining resource, and global or regional pandemics, to note but a few.
  • extreme weather-related events such as hurricanes, tsunamis, extreme droughts, widespread or unfortunately-targeted tornadoes, extreme hail or rain, and
  • non-naturally-caused disasters capable of initiating a civilly-catastrophic event include both unintended events as well as intentional acts of war, terrorism, madness or the like.
  • Examples of non-naturally-caused disasters capable of such potential scale include, but are not limited to, nuclear-related events (including uncontrolled fission or fusion releases, radiation exposure, and so forth), acts of war, the release of deadly or otherwise disruptive biological or chemical agents or creations, and so forth.
  • the process 100 then provides for positioning 103 the transportable container at a predetermined location and then securing 104 the transportable container at such location prior to the occurrence of a civilly-catastrophic event.
  • the container is preferably secured in a manner and in a configuration such that the container remains operative to provide the subscribed to access relative to the predetermined location after the container experiences the event.
  • the container preferably includes a structure, support, or other reinforcing arrangement so that the container itself remains operative to provide the subscribed to access after experiencing the event.
  • positioning 103 the transportable container may include a variety of positioning strategies—a few are discussed below. Other strategies and approaches, of course, are also possible.
  • one or more transportable containers 300 may be positioned 201 in one of a plurality of distinct predetermined locations 301 .
  • each predetermined location 301 and secured container 300 is spaced at least and/or within or about a predetermined distance X from another predetermined location 301 and secured container 300 .
  • the distance X may vary from container to container, but about 5 to about 10 miles may be suitable for many application settings.
  • the at least one predetermined location 301 and the secured container 300 can be relatively proximal to a populated area (such as a city, community, town, or other urban and semi-urban area).
  • a populated area such as a city, community, town, or other urban and semi-urban area.
  • the distance to such a populated area may vary depending on the geographic size, the population, the nature of the civilly-catastrophic event, various environmental conditions, and/or the surrounding terrain, but for many purposes may be within a relatively short walk from a population base or at least one authorized beneficiary.
  • another positioning strategy includes first staging 202 a plurality of containers 300 at an initial staging position 401 , and then transporting 203 the containers 300 from the initial position 401 to one of a plurality of predetermined locations 301 in advance of a civilly-catastrophic event 402 .
  • the containers are not necessarily secured thereto, but if desired may be secured in a manner so that they may be transported 203 to the predetermined location 301 when needed.
  • a plurality of initial staging positions 401 may also be used as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • a portion of the plurality of containers 300 may be staged 204 at each of the plurality of initial locations so that deployment to the predetermined locations 301 may be better optimized.
  • This portioned positioning strategy is beneficial because the optimal predetermined location(s) 301 may not be known until the true nature, location, path, or scope (among other factors) of the civilly-catastrophic event 402 are understood. Therefore, by employing the use of one or more initial staging positions 401 , the deployment of the containers 300 at the final predetermined locations 301 can be better optimized for their use after the event.
  • the process 100 also contemplates the repositioning 205 of one or more of the transportable containers from the predetermined location 301 to a second predetermined location 501 .
  • the container 300 is then secured 206 at the second predetermined location in a manner and configuration similar to how the container 300 was secured to the predetermined location 301 . That is, the container can be secured in a manner and in a configuration such that the container remains operative to provide the subscribed to access relative to the second predetermined location after the container experiences the event.
  • the locating signal may be automatically or manually triggered if desired.
  • the process 100 provides for the securing 104 of the container at the predetermined location 301 .
