(2017) “Prepper” as resilient citizen: what preppers can teach us about surviving disasters Abstract: "Prepping is a social movement of individuals and small groups that are learning how to effectively survive potential disasters and long-term change. My current research indicates that preppers believe governmental and non-governmental services are vulnerable, and thus have limitations in their ability to respond, given large-scale change due to disaster. While maintaining the belief that these services can be important for society, preppers train to meet their own individual/familial needs. This paper will discuss how those localized preparations create nodes of action that can act in supportive roles to larger systems of response, creating webs of resilience." https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315957699_Prepper_as_resilient_citizen_what_preppers_can_teach_us_about_surviving_disasters https://www.researchgate.net/publication/315957699_Prepper_a...
