Always Ready Tools

Decentralized dispatch, training, and incident reporting. Secure. Volunteer-run.

Always Ready Tools should look like tomorrow’s emergency system built by the people. No marketing gloss—just clarity, security, and confidence. The goal is to make a donor say, “This is what real infrastructure looks like,” and make an organizer say, “We can use this today.”

How to Use

The How‑to guide is a built‑in reference for new and experienced users. It explains common workflows step by step and links concepts across the platform so you can learn in context. Short sections are designed for quick reading during live operations when time is limited. Use it to discover features, clarify terminology, and share consistent practices across teams.

Watch

Watch is a live map for situational awareness across your region. Layers and filters help you focus on relevant reports, signals, and activity as conditions change. It’s useful for real‑time monitoring, early triage, and spotting patterns before they turn into dispatches. Teams can use Watch during operations briefings to align on what’s happening right now.

Confirmed Watch

Confirmed Watch highlights reports that coordinators have reviewed and verified for accuracy. This view reduces noise and uncertainty so on‑the‑ground teams can act with confidence. It lives inside Watch as a filter or dedicated layer rather than a separate tool. Use it when you need a trusted baseline for decisions or public communication.

Pods

Pods are teams organized around people, skills, and geography. Use them to maintain rosters, define communication channels, and assign responsibilities to specific areas. Pods make it easier to see who is available and how coverage changes over time. Well‑structured pods reduce confusion during incidents and improve handoffs.

Dispatches

Dispatches is the intake‑to‑action pipeline that moves a report from first contact to resolution. Coordinators triage submissions, set status, and record intended actions so everyone sees the current plan. Roles and staffing needs are tracked here, and updates form the running incident log for handoffs. Use Dispatches to keep decisions visible, responsibilities clear, and progress easy to audit.

Meet a Need

Meet a Need is a guided intake for community requests that feeds directly into Dispatches. The form collects the essential context up front so coordinators can prioritize quickly and respond appropriately. It is suitable for demos and training, but it also supports real‑world requests when enabled. Clear intake reduces back‑and‑forth and helps volunteers show up prepared.

Missing Persons

Missing Persons provides structured intake and case tracking when someone is unaccounted for. It captures critical details, contact information, and consent, then centralizes updates in one timeline. The module supports coordination among pods and external partners while protecting sensitive data. Use it to keep search efforts organized and to avoid duplicating work.

Academy Hub

The Academy Hub is your training hub for learning how this platform and your region operate. Courses are self‑paced and cover both fundamentals and role‑specific practices so you can onboard quickly. As you complete modules, you earn credentials that unlock permissions and responsibilities in other areas of the app. Returning users can use the Academy Hub for refreshers or to track progress toward advanced qualifications.

My Profile

My Profile is where you keep your information accurate and discoverable. Update contact details, languages, and skills so coordinators can match you to the right roles. You control map visibility and availability preferences to respect your boundaries. Keeping this current improves response speed and reduces coordination overhead.

Why Always Ready Tools

🎯Purpose

Always Ready Tools (ART) is an open-source, decentralized suite for real-world community defense, mutual aid, and rapid response. It provides secure coordination, reporting, and training infrastructure for networks that already exist on the ground — activists, medics, organizers, and neighbors. It’s live and usable today, with public demos and deployable regional instances.

⚙️Design Philosophy

Privacy First: Each region owns its database; nothing is centralized.
Transparency: The code is public and auditable.
Resilience: Works offline, syncs when possible.
Autonomy: Volunteer-run and community-governed.
Extensible: Modular React and Supabase stack, ready for forks and integrations.

📣Why It Matters

Grassroots networks already protect communities. They just need reliable infrastructure. ART replaces chaos — lost spreadsheets, fragmented chats — with tools designed for crisis-ready collaboration. It’s not hypothetical. You can log in and use it now.

❤️Support

Funding keeps hosting sustainable and ensures regional independence. Donations cover infrastructure, training content, and hardware for field deployment (PocketServer mesh nodes). Supporting ART means building civil resilience and data sovereignty from the ground up.

Origins of the Next Generation Constitution

In February 2025, while fleeing the South and pausing in Colorado, I (T) witnessed what felt like the disintegration of the United States Constitution. As a military member, I was torn between my oath to protect citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and my inability to act within that moment’s limits.

I turned to writing as a means of grounding myself. From that struggle came the idea of the Next Generation Constitution (NGC). A document outlining what I would fight for in 2025 and beyond.

The NGC became a tool for mental stability and purpose. If I can envision a future where it exists, then working toward that future makes the fight worthwhile.

The NGC is what motivates the work I’m doing here, but adopting it is not required to participate in or use these tools. I include it for transparency, so you understand why I build the way I do and the future I hope we can reach.

Next-Generation Constitution (NGC)

Background on this document.

We, the people of diverse communities—geographic, cultural, and ideological—united by a shared commitment to human dignity, equity, and ecological responsibility, establish this Constitution as a living document to uphold the inalienable rights of all individuals and promote the common good for present and future generations.

Mindful of humanity’s democratic evolution and ongoing struggles for justice, we seek to form a society where:

Power flows from the people upward, ensuring governance remains accountable and participatory.
Government structures protect the vulnerable while promoting liberty, autonomy, and opportunity for all.
Natural resources and the environment are safeguarded as shared assets fundamental to life and cultural continuity.
Conflicts are resolved through restorative principles, prioritizing reconciliation over punitive measures.
Technological advancements serve the public good, ensuring transparency, privacy, and equitable access.
Governance is continually evaluated and improved to meet the evolving needs of society.
Civic education and public engagement ensure an informed and active citizenry.
The people retain the right to dismantle or reconstitute the government should it fail in its duty to serve the public good.
Explicit safeguards against authoritarianism and fascism ensure that power is never concentrated in a single entity or ideology.
Economic and political structures are protected from corporate control and single-party rule, ensuring genuine democratic plurality.
Governance shall be transparent, decentralized, and adaptable, ensuring rights and responsibilities are upheld under shared principles of freedom, equity, and mutual care.
