At A&P our mission is to help people prepare for the inevitable disasters and emergencies that plague our modern world. Our philosophy is that such preparation is two pronged: It includes gathering emergency supplies and undergoing emergency response training, but it also includes developing an awake and aware mindset, one that enables us to respond to crises before they develop and maybe even to prevent them altogether. Preparation without awareness is wrongheaded. Awareness without preparation is pointless... We also believe strongly that going it alone is not effective. Although individuals must take responsibility for preparation of self and family, emergency prep is not about holing up in a bunker with weapons. Worthwhile and successful emergency prep involves building alliances and teams and cooperating at every level, from neighborhood to nation... We live on a small planet where what happens in one small corner can affect life across the entire globe. For this reason, A&P..
