What does this work look like?
What does this work look like?
Organizing supply drives that bring together volunteers and serve hundreds of neighbors, whether nearby or across regions after major hurricanes
Clearing storm-damaged paths with battery powered chainsaws and turning fallen trees into mushroom logs to feed ourselves and our friends
Organizing work days to convert lawns into rain gardens
Hosting community potlucks to strengthen connection with neighbors, build trust, and learn about what we'll need when floods come
Creating neighborhood ham or LoRa radio networks to stay connected when the grid goes down
Hosting neighborhood training sessions to share practical skills. One person might know how to forage for herbal medicine, another might be trained in CPR or bleeding control, and someone else might specialize in bike repair. You might be surprised by the knowledge and experience already in your community!
Let’s get our hands dirty and strengthen our communities through real, practical work. Taking action together when skies are blue means that we're more prepared and more connected when storm clouds are overhead.
"Redtail Resilience Network has already had a meaningful impact on my neighborhood. We've worked together to address pressing needs like storm damage, built capacity for navigating future challenges like establishing resilient communications infrastructure, and we've had a fun time doing it. Getting together to prepare is a great way to build community!"

"Preparedness isn't about holing up in a bunker and stockpiling beans. It's about making day-to-day life better by building resilient economies and ecologies right in our own back yards."

"The mutual aid projects I’ve worked on with the Redtail community makes me hopeful that my neighbors and I can ease the burden of living through crisis when we join together."
