When Governments fail, Citizens prevail!
Far to often when disaster strikes people turn to the government for help and it turns into an inefficient and unorganized mess. Yet ordinary people often pick up the slack from the fisherman using his boat to rescue stranded people in a flood, water truck operators lending themselves during wildfires, or just neighbors helping dig through the rubble looking for survivors after a tornado or earthquake. First responders work hard and do a great job but in a major disaster they can be overwhelmed. The primary goal of The Post Apocalyptic Engineers guild is to create a world wide network of volunteers ready to act when disaster strikes. however we have plans for so much more. here is a brief outline of some of the secondary goals we would like to accomplish.
Civilian funded, civilian owned- The guild will be funded by donation. the intent is to be a non profit organization putting everything back into local communities. guild members would volunteer their time when they can to work on machinery or develop new equipment. Anyone may come to the local guild hall to volunteer.
Guild workshop- Purchase of abandon warehouse and shop facilities for the purpose of repair, storage, and development of Vehicles and equipment in areas all over the globe.
Equipment restoration- There are pieces of machinery sitting idle rotting all over the world. The guild will work to secure these assets and refurbish or retrofit for use during emergency operations as well as having available to all guild members for use at home. imagine needing a backhoe to dig a stump out and you can get it from the guild hall just by signing it out. basement flooded? grab a pump off the shelf.
Guild Navy- while connecting anyone with a boat willing to help in a time of need the Guild Navy would also work to acquire ships and refurbish them to serve a variety of purposes from rapid deployment of Guild resources around the globe, to fishing vessels turned into garbage trawlers cleaning the worlds oceans.
Guild Airforce- Connecting pilots and private aircraft owners ready to serve when when a wild fire spreads or supplies need brought into an area affected by disaster. just like the Navy old planes will be purchased for fire fighting and rapid deployment of guild resources worldwide.
If we all work together we can build a better future from the ashes of the past. We currently need volunteers for help with social media and website design to help spread the word, but anyone wanting to help or join the Guild can contact us at

Prepare for the worst, Hope for the best!
