Mission Mules:
Come meet the 4 legged heros that could go where no machine could go to rescue people after Hurricane Helene.

Saturday May 9th 2026, 12:00 pm (Noon), At the Rutherford County Annex Building, 289 N. Main St., Rutherfordton, NC.

Mission Mules is a non-profit disaster response organization uniquely positioned to provide critical aid in remote and inaccessible areas following natural disasters.

Unlike traditional emergency vehicles, our teams utilize surefooted mules to reach victims often left behind in the immediate aftermath of a crisis. This crucial first response capability allows us to deliver essential supplies and medical assistance where other relief efforts are simply unable to reach.

In the aftermath of devastating disasters, the immediate needs of vulnerable communities are immense. Critical infrastructure is often compromised, with roadways blocked by debris and access to isolated populations severely hampered. This is where rapid, effective response is paramount.

Specialized teams, equipped with the necessary resources and expertise, are crucial for clearing vital pathways, removing obstructions, and reaching those in the most desperate need, ensuring the swift delivery of essential aid and services to the hardest-hit areas. Timely intervention is vital for minimizing further suffering and facilitating the crucial first steps toward recovery.

Mass Fatality Event -
in Rutherford County?

What if we had a mass casualty event, that caused mass fatalities in Rutherford County? How do we deal with mass fatalities, whether that was a terrorist attack, an industrial accident or natural disaster?

Lori Hardin, has conducted thousands of death investigations and responded to several mass fatality incidents, including, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Haiti Earthquake, the Concept Science Explosion, and the Virginia Tech shootings. Lori was the Statewide Emergency Planner for the Emergency Preparedness and Response Division, Virginia Department of Health, representing the Virginia Medical Examiner System. Lori was responsible for all Mass Fatality Emergency Planning efforts with local, state, federal, and nongovernmental response agencies in the state of Virginia.

In this meeting we will learn:

What is Rutherford County’s Response Plan if we have a Mass Fatality Incident?

What are the Medical Examiner forensic operations if such and event should happen.

How will they identify the victims, and how will they support families of those victims?

To find out, come join us on this Saturday, April 11, at noon at the Rutherford County Annex.

Save $40.00/Prepper Camp Ticket Now! @ www.PrepperCamp.com
When disaster strikes, emergency medicine looks very different. Clean Medicine in a Dirty Place teaches practical, real-world medical decision-making when hospitals are overwhelmed, inaccessible, or no longer the safest option. This class focuses on initial assessment and immediate response. This class covers the basics of limb injury care, bleeding control, infection prevention, and stabilization using limited resources. Attendees will learn how to care for injuries at home when appropriate, how to reduce infection risk in unsanitary conditions, and how to discern between injuries that can be safely managed off grid versus those requiring higher-level trauma care or secondary medical facilities. When in chaotic conditions, knowing when not to go to the hospital can be just as critical as knowing when to go.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) – the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly -
at Prepper Camp.
Save $40.00/Ticket Now at www.PrepperCamp.com

In this class, we will discuss the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on your life today and in the coming years. We will explore the potential good and bad consequences of the increasing use of AI. The science fiction depictions of AI will soon no longer be fiction. From HAL in 2001 a Space Odyssey to the Terminator, these applications of AI are becoming reality.
One theme that is not common in movies is the potential for tyranny because of AI’s ability to monitor and profile individuals. Big Brother has grown up and he has all your personal data to train AI to track you. In this class you will learn the ways that AI is used to monitor, control, and manipulate you. Starting with your cell phone metadata, it will know who you call, what food you like, where you shop, what you buy, what you search for on the internet, what websites you visit, and who you associate with. From there it, will control and manipulate you by what search results you see, who’s posts you get to see on social media, and filtering what news it wants you see and hiding the rest.
Most importantly, you will learn how to stop giving your private information away and to reduce your digital footprint starting today! You will learn how to break the connections they are using to connect the dots, thereby limiting what AI can learn about you going forward.
