Our Programs
Every day in our nation and around the World, people perform their daily routines without thoughts of disasters or emergencies. Unfortunately, and usually when we least expect them, they strike. Lives are disrupted dramatically, and people are abruptly forced into extreme situations and conditions that they are usually not prepared to face.
Events such as the destruction of New York City’s World Trade Center in 2001, the Indonesian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina have shown us just how vulnerable our society is. They have lasting effects; produce millions (in many cases billions) of dollars in property damage and, indeterminable amounts of human suffering.
We must also gird ourselves to face the horrifying reality of terrorists utilizing mass casualty (biological & chemical) and weapons of mass destruction (WOMD’s) (Nuclear,) against our major cities. A large-scale attack of this type would test and in many cases overwhelm responders & local and federal relief agencies.
Terrorism is a small segment of a broad spectrum of threats that our world will face over the next few decades. One of the most potentially dangerous and difficult to combat is infectious and emerging diseases. The rapidly expanding AIDS epidemic will produce dreadful global healthemergencies. SARS, Swine Flu, (H1N1) are ominous signals of things to come.
SWINE FLU VIRUS
Climate changes brought about by global warming will significantly alter the migratory and reproductive patterns of the world insect (vector) and pest (rodent) populations. Land, air and sea transportation systems along with millions of travelers will move many of these insects and disease carrying pests into large cities. Eventually, they will spread deadly diseases such as Malaria, Dengue & Yellow Fever, Encephalitis, Hantavirus, and many others.
The climate changes will also produce floods, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoesand many other extremely severe and highly destructive weather anomalies.
Technological emergencies will produce other enormous problems. Large cities and small towns across America and around the World will experience blackouts, toxic waste spills & releases, communication systems disruptions transportation accidents, and water purification systems failures.
Large oil spills will pollute our waterways and ocean destroying entire ecosystems. A large nuclear power plant accident can contaminate tens of thousands of miles of land and produce large numbers of radiation related injuries and casualties.
CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT ACCIDENT
These are only a few examples of the many different challenges ahead. When these emergencies appear in your area, local responders or even the federal government may not be able to reach or assist you. This is why you must be prepared to help yourself.
The IPN utilizes the world’s most sophisticated disaster preparedness system called IA-DO (The Way Of Improvisational Adaptation) and, has a number of specially designed programs that can provide you with all you need to prepare for, respond to and, recover from a broad spectrum of emergencies.
1. The first is called XET-7 X-treme Event Training.
This is a seven-step program that not only shows you how to endure various types of crises, it can also provide you with methods that you can reduce their destructive impact and, in many cases, circumvent their dangers entirely.
2. The second is called MAX-3, a three -step physical fitness and general health system that can help prepare your body for the many physical challenges that emergencies produce.
The MAX-3 program will include many of the world’s leading innovators in the health fitness & nutrition field.
The third is a program called Life-O.N.E. that specializes in preparing disaster resistant homes for impoverished communities. Many are designed by the IPN Executive Director Aton Edwards. They range from permanent homes to temporary disaster resistant shelters. The Life-O.N.E. program will also design and create emergency disaster resistant shelter systems for the homeless, water purification pumping & renewable energy power stations for impoverished communities and organic, bio-dynamic, aqua, hydro, & aeroponic farms for urban & rural areas, rooftops and gardens.
IPN Project X is the most recent edition to the IPN program list. It is the companion program to IPN Life-O.N.E. All details will be posted here shortly.
