Unprecedented Change
Changes are afoot that affect our fundamental human support systems. The changes we refer to include population growth, oil depletion, dollar instability, US population aging, climate change, and others. The fundamental human support systems we refer to include our money system and economy, food and water distribution systems, social service systems, government, medical care, and others.
There is Risk
There is a risk, a chance, an unacceptable probability, that some or all of these changes (or others we have not anticipated) will outstrip the ability of our key support systems to adapt, and that disruptions and hardship may result.
Likelihood and Impact
We assess this risk in terms of Likelihood and Impact. We believe that:
- The Likelihood of such disruptions occurring is high: higher than that of a house fire.
- The Impact of such disruptions would be unacceptably high: greater than that of a house fire.
Insurance
In the same way that fire insurance helps to mitigate the risk of our houses burning down, we believe that it is prudent that we, our families, and our communities mitigate the risks associated with these systemic changes. We do that by understanding them, watching them, and taking action.
Now Is The Time To Act
There are many forms of insurance in this domain. Some of them are quick, easy, and inexpensive. Others require changing the ways we think and work and live. It is possible to take action to reduce the impact of these disruptions. We're doing it ourselves, and this website is about helping you to do so, too.
