1 Eco-Community Shelter We Cannot Stop The Threats But We Can Minimize Effects of Them. CATASTROPHIC EVENTS It is better to have a survival solution and not need it, than to need a survival solution and not have it.

2 This May Be Your Only Survival Solution Numerous people are sensing that a global changing event is just ahead. Millions believe we are living in volatile times. The governments of the world know something and have been building bunkers for decades, and the media is not warning people to prepare to keep from causing a mass panic. What is your true plan? Will your family be victims or survivors? More and more people are now looking for a viable shelter solution to survive what may be ahead. Eventually, our planet will realize another devastating catastrophe, whether manmade, or a force of nature. Disasters are happening everyday around the world, even right here in our own country, catching many people unexpectedly. This may be the time for you to consider a solid plan. The accepted solution to most of the threat scenarios is to find underground shelter. The soil of the Earth itself can provide the best shelter for most catastrophes, such as; a pole shift, super volcano eruptions, earthquakes, asteroids, solar flares, tsunamis, nuclear attack, bioterrorism, chemical warfare and even widespread social anarchy. An underground shelter is a solution to help preserve the life of yourself and loved ones, it is a viable solution for continuance of life. Providing an underground shelter to survive most devastating catastrophes, whether from nature, the cosmos or an act of mankind. The Eco-Community Shelter is engineered to withstand the worst-case catastrophes of both nature and mankind. It would be cost prohibitive for all but the very wealthy to build and outfit a shelter of equivalent impervious strength, and to fully equip, supply and staff the shelter with the diversity of skills and talents collectively provided by each Eco-Community Member. From doctors, to military and security experts the shelter provides a team of talents and skills that will help assure the best chance of survival through the most disastrous scenarios. Eco-Community Shelter has purchased the land, produce the structural blueprints, hired the contractors, oversaw the construction and handled all physical and legal burdens of the project, so each like-minded applicant only needs to join the community and contribute to the overall responsibility.

3 Looking At the Risks The only known and practical solution for surviving all of the following catastrophes is to be in a secure, underground blast-proof, water, gas and chemical-proof, long-term hardened shelter such as Eco- Community Shelter offers. The U.S. government, as well as other major world governments, have built shelters for politicians, government officials and the elite. They have been, and still are, preparing for a major future catastrophe. What do they know that we don't? Congressional reports indicate that half or more of the U.S. population will be dead within one year from the anarchy following a major catastrophic event. That is when most of the casualties are realized, after the event, when anarchy spreads with riots, gangs and starvation. The State leaders will be over-taxed and under-manned, and will not be there to help you anyway in the event of a wide-scale disaster. Proposed Threats Eco-Community Shelter has strived to build a shelter to mitigate the anticipated forces of the worst-case catastrophes, both natural and manmade, including: Mitigating threats with Eco-Community Shelter, all that would be left, is the member s responsibility to provide their own transportation to the predetermined meeting location and the community security team would escort them the rest of the way to the community shelter. Catastrophic Timeline Scientists understand that the Earth has had a number of catastrophic, periodic events that repeat on a somewhat predictable, or even random basis, any one of which could occur without notice, whether in 2018, 2025, 2036, or thereafter. Those fortunate enough to secure a position in any well designed underground shelter will be assured of a solution for whenever the need arises. It is better to have a secured survival plan and not need it, than to need a secured survival plan and not have it.

4 Some Catastrophic Events Which May Triger Population Collapse Anarchy will result from most of the catastrophes listed here. No government will be capable of providing adequate safety, security or social support. In a societal breakdown, many Law Enforcement and Military personnel will abandon their posts to protect and take care of their own families. Without extreme emergency measures, there will be hunger, sickness, death, and destruction everywhere you turn. Whether you are faced with gangs, thieves, or even ad-hoc militias, one way or another your home and family will not be safe, but rather a target for the have-nots. Bioterrorism is a very high risk in today s worldwide socio-political environment. Bioterrorism poses a great risk to national security, and can be easily transmitted and disseminated, resulting in rapid and high mortality rates. A Bio-Chemical attack will have an immediate major health impact on society, causing public panic, rioting and civil unrest. While the government is always practicing to respond to a widespread event, there is virtually nothing that can be done to eliminate the threat. Given the opportunity and the pathogen terrorists will release this ultimate killer where it will have the greatest impact and chance of migration. There continue to be many warning signs of a coming global economic collapse. Some experts now say we are standing on the precipice of The Greatest Depression. The U.S. Dollar is under attack and predicted to collapse. The European Union is stressed to the limits and believed to be nearing reversion to save the economies of its stronger nations. Economic collapse will create worldwide social anarchy, civil unrest and unprecedented poverty on a global scale. Solar flares are not a question of if, but when. NASA/NOAA published a report in 2009 predicting a significant increase in solar activity in the coming years. In 2006, a stellar flare was observed that was estimated to have unleashed an energy of 50 million trillion (50,000,000,000,000,000,000) atomic bombs. If a flare of that magnitude hits the Earth, the entire world would be thrown into a new dark age. Planes will literally fall out of the sky, while transportation, logistics and supply chains would all come to a screeching halt. No cars, trains, satellites, phones, computers, banks, credit cards, ATM s, food, fuel, water, sewer, elevators, medical devices, hospitals, power stations, nuclear plants, hydro-electric dams NOTHING. It will take years, even decades to get things switched back on. NASA is currently tracking a potentially hazardous 690 x 1080 foot diameter asteroid called Apophis estimated to have a chance of impacting Earth on Friday, April 13, 2029, and again in Another massive asteroid known as 2009 VA was only discovered about 15 hours before its very close encounter with earth on November 6, Eventually, a major asteroid or comet will once again hit the Earth and potentially destroy all life as we know it. NASA officially acknowledged the possibility of Planet X, with the announcement that some kind of mystery object is far beyond the outermost planets. There are many reports that the U.S. Government has been tracking this object from a secret base on Antarctica, as it is only currently visible from the South Pole through a giant infrared telescope. Many believe it is coming and will enter our solar system within the next few years, as it has before on its 3,600 year orbit. If so, the Earth will be devastated, possibly causing many of the catastrophes listed on this summary to occur all at once. Despite the end of the Cold War, the threat of nuclear war, or the detonation of a nuclear device still exists today. American and Russian missiles still remain in a launch-onwarning mode (targeting each other). A number of other world powers and rogue nation-states possess nuclear weapons, and are considered at high risk of deploying them. It is also highly probable that terrorists have obtained so-called suitcase and/or dirty bombs. A nuclear event is now more likely than ever before, with even greater risk than during the Cold War. Terrorism is the most prevalent risk we face today. A major terrorist strike can put the world in a tailspin, potentially crashing the global economy, destroying lives and our civilized way of life. The greatest danger today is that a terror group will detonate a nuclear bomb in one of our cities. Terrorists will not need a ballistic missile to deliver their nuclear weapon: they will use a truck, an ocean freighter, or even a single suicide attacker willing to die for the cause. There is no known method to stop terrorism. We have been hit before, and will be attacked again. We cannot dodge the proverbial bullet forever. An EMP (Electro-Magnetic Pulse) is the result of a nuclear bomb, also known as a HEMP device (High Altitude EMP) being detonated hundreds of kilometers above the earth's surface. An EMP completely destroys, or fries, any electronic circuits in its path, including the internet, power lines and the grid. Predictions are that 90% or more of the population would die off within a year following an EMP because of our dependence on electricity and the subsequent total collapse of our infrastructure. Such an attack would only require using as few as three small fission bombs, to destroy our way of life. Geologic evidence points to the fact that Earth has experienced a number of complete pole shifts. A very rapid polar shift may occur over weeks, a few days, or even hours. A reorientation of the Earth's axis would cause dramatic alterations of geography, land masses and water bodies. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and massive storms with winds in excess of 400 miles per hour would result in disaster on a global scale. Nothing on the surface would survive the forces. Scientists currently tell us that pole shifts occur, on average, once every 500,000 years. The last pole shift was 780,000 years ago so we are overdue for the next one. Major earthquakes or an asteroid can cause a megatsunami, destroying vast land masses. The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands is expected to eventually erupt and collapse half of the mountain into the ocean, creating a mega-tsunami approximately two-thirds of a mile in height that will cross the Atlantic and hit the East Coast of America 8 to 10 hours later. This would result in the destruction of much of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. No coastal area is safe from the next mega-tsunami. There are several known super-volcanoes throughout the world, including one located under Yellowstone National Park which last erupted approximately 640,000 years ago. The resulting magma and ash ejected from the caldera covered most of the United States west of the Mississippi river and parts of northeastern Mexico. Such an eruption today would destroy most life on the North American continent and will release large amounts of gases and pyroclastic clouds that could alter the balance of the planet's carbon dioxide and cause a runaway greenhouse effect. The Yellowstone super-volcano is long overdue for the next eruption in its cycle.

5 An Underground Shelter That is Specifically Designed for Long-term Habitation Underground survival takes extreme tolls on the human body, mind and spirit. You will not survive in something hardly bigger than a small shipping container, without space to move around, and a community of people with various backgrounds and expertise (physicians, laborers, artists, security, survivalists, etc.) to help you get through all of the physical and mental challenges. Being in a community of like-minded people with an abundance of supplies, amenities and moral boosters is essential for your survival as well as your sanity. This type of diversified preparedness shelter community, with ample space per person to exercise, move around, find privacy and/or gather socially, is currently available through Eco-Community Shelter. Catastrophic Alerts Eco-Community Shelter members do not need to wait for an alert from the Shelter Association Management Board. They are free to go to their respective predetermined meeting places whenever they believe there is an impending catastrophe or actual life threatening event that requires the underground shelter for survival. Members need only arrive before the facility is locked down, which of course is done at the last possible moment. The decision of when to lockdown the facility is made by the security team within the shelter. Only they can gauge the intensity and degree of the threat outside and determine the last possible moment to lock the vault doors. Should a member arrive after the doors have been locked and sealed they can request entry through a remote surveillance and monitoring device. If safe, the door will be re-opened and the community member(s) will be swiftly ushered inside. However, if it is determined by the community coordinator within the facility that it is unsafe to all existing inhabitants to open the door, wherein doing so may cause immediate contamination from radiation, virus, pathogens, water intrusion or any other threat, then the door may not be opened. The key to surviving in Eco-Community Shelter is to arrive before it is too late to gain access.
