For the last several years, these pages USED TO include a list of hundreds of (Email VERIFIED) Intentional Communities and Survival Preparedness Groups along with an Ark Two state TEAM Leader in forty-eight of the 50 States. Because of the changing circumstances that some see as the increasing immediacy of the threat, and because of a perception that there has been a recent change in the social / governmental attitude towards individual rights regarding freedom and property there has been a growing consensus among the individuals that were listed here that it is no longer prudent for them to make their names and locations public. It has become too arduous to maintain the list in response to the growing number of requests for deletion, and the fact that the list was going to become too skimpy to be useful has now led us to have to regrettably abandon it altogether after these many years of effort spent to assemble it. While for years we have encouraged people to form survival communities and groups and to build shelters and otherwise make preparation - most of those who have done so are of the opinion that there may not any longer be sufficient time to integrate further members into their groups and communities. They are concerned that if the threat situation continues to increase, at the rate that it presently is, they will be overwhelmed by individuals who are not prepared and that those individuals instead of adding to their resources would only be a drag and potential for depletion to what they have prepared. It is with regret that we have come to this point. Ark Two itself still welcomes any who wish to join its community in Canada AND we are still maintaining the structure of these pages AND THE REGISTRY so that in case of a nuclear war we may be able to implement these structures for providing assistance during the RECOVERY and REORGANIZATION phases. We hope at that time to be able to re-establish contact with, or appoint new, TEAM leaders in all the states and localities and then provide a network for developing assistance and cooperation among them.
