Fire, First-aid, Emergency Medical

Village Fire and Medical

One Community will demonstrate comprehensive environmental and personal safety. We have used a systems engineering approach to creating this and will be open sourcing all components of our plan to help future teacher/demonstration villages create similar plans.

We discuss this with the following sections:

WHAT IS A VILLAGE FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL PLAN

Fire and Medical Icon, Open Source Fire Plan, Open Source Emergency Medical StrategyOne Community is taking an open source project-launch blueprinting approach to everything we do. The following structure is purposed to clearly share our fire and emergency medical safety design parameters and goals in a duplicable and easily modifiable format. This structure is purposed to comprehensively address challenges before they arise while easily and transparently tracking the evolution of of all aspects of this component (through both top-down and bottom-up changes) until it is complete. In the following systems engineering approach:

  • “Shall” statements are specifics that will be met because we consider them essential
  • “Will” statements are considered important but with built-in flexibility if it is needed
  • “Could” and “Should” statements are goals and possibilities we hope to achieve, but not required

Level’s 5 and below are the details that will evolve into complete open source resource databases once we move onto the property. These resources will either be developed as their own complete web components or added to the do-it-yourself multi-media resource and information hub. If you’d like to help us with any of this, visit our Helping Page for all the participation options.

 

WHY OPEN SOURCE A VILLAGE FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL PLAN

Fire and Medical Icon, Open Source Fire Plan, Open Source Emergency Medical StrategyFire and emergency medical safety are important for the health of residents of any community and/or teacher/demonstration hub. Open sourcing our fire and emergency medical plan research is important so that it can be replicated and/or so other communities can build-upon our work to improve it and/or make changes to suit their own projects/visions. Currently, there is very little information on the establishment of safety plans like these for small-to-large communities, so creating this online tutorial is helping fill the void we see in this area. Our hope in sharing what we’ve learned is to increase public safety, preparedness, and resilience. As part of our open source goals and model, we will also share here our experience with evolving this plan as we build the Earthbag Village, Duplicable City Center, and the other 6 villages.

 

FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL PLAN DETAILS

One Community will demonstrate comprehensive environmental and personal safety. We have used a systems engineering approach to creating this and will be continue to develop and open source here all components of our fire and emergency medical plans to help future teacher/demonstration villages create similar plans. The fire and emergency medical plans are discussed here with the following sections:

 

LEVEL 1: CONCEPT OF OPERATION

The village shall demonstrate comprehensive environmental and personal safety

LEVEL 2: ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS
  • Every village shall have a comprehensive home and wildland fire plan element
  • Every village shall have a comprehensive emergency medical and evacuation plan

 

LEVEL 3: FIRE AND MEDICAL SYSTEMS

Highest Good society, fulfilled living, enriched life, enriching life, living to live, how to live an enriched life, keeping it all running, sustainable living, social architecture, fulfilled living, thriving, thrivability, emotional sustainability, the good life, a new way to liveAll fire and medical systems will be open source developed by us or we will link to existing open source resources as part of the complete One Community open source resource databases. So we are as comprehensive and complete as possible, most of this development will happen once we move onto the property and actually implement these systems. The resources we create will either be developed as their own complete web components or added to the do-it-yourself multi-media resource and information hub. Level 5 Subsystems, Level 6 Components, Level 7 Training, and Level 8 Tools and Equipment Needs (all outlined below) will be included with the complete details of the open source systems resources we create.

If you’d like to help us secure the property or further develop any of this before then, please visit This Page
