What weβre about
Welcome to the WNC Strategic Readiness Network, a community group dedicated to fostering comprehensive preparedness and self-reliance in Western North Carolina and the Southern Appalachian region.
In an increasingly unpredictable world, understanding how to secure your home, family, and resources is more important than ever. We believe true readiness is holistic, spanning vital areas like water and energy independence, food stability, home security, and community mutual aid.
Whether you're just starting your preparedness journey or you're a seasoned homesteader, this group is for you. We aim to:
- Share Practical Knowledge: Learn actionable strategies and skills for real-world resilience.
- Discuss Local Vulnerabilities: Understand challenges unique to our Appalachian environment, from weather events to infrastructure concerns.
- Connect with Like-Minded Individuals: Build valuable local networks and foster community support.
- Empower Self-Reliance: Gain confidence in your ability to navigate disruptions and thrive in any situation.
Join us to explore a wide range of topics, exchange ideas, and build a more secure future, together. We're about proactive steps, shared learning, and building a more resilient WNC.
