Join the Prepared Citizen Movement

Becoming a Prepared Citizen is about more than safety or preparing for emergencies. It is about developing the awareness, judgment, confidence, and daily habits to recognize what is happening around you, anticipate what may happen next, make better decisions, communicate effectively, and act responsibly.Through the Paratus Process and 10 Critical Skills—Self-Awareness, Perspective, Perceptive Skills, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Decision Making, Communication, Learning Agility, Empathy, and Humility—we develop capabilities that apply across everyday life: at home, at work, in our churches, organizations, and communities.Prepared Citizens are better equipped to recognize challenges and opportunities, serve others, solve problems, protect what matters, and take appropriate action when the moment requires it.If you believe we need more people willing and able to Take Back Responsibility, we invite you to join the movement.
