Prologue
CCPARM means the "Climate Change Preparation, Adaptation, Resilience Building, and Migration Model or movement." The CCPARM section of our website contains our original CCPARM Model (also known as CCPAR). It covers everything you need to know to create a climate-change-prepared future and build climate-change-prepared communities. On our CCPARM pages, if you see the words "Universe One," all you need to know for now is that it is a special variation of the CCPARM model.
Additionally, several years ago, we helped cofound ClimateSafe Villages (CSV). It was designed to advance and use many parts of the CCPARM model found on these pages. CSV differs from the CCPARM model in that it provides more one-on-one individual support and interaction.
To learn more about CCPARM after reading the following page, please review our CCPARM Guide here.
Introduction
This is the original CCPARM and ClimateSafe Village (CSV) guide and model for everything you need to know about these future climate-prepared, resilient communities.
The CCPARM "survive and thrive" eco-community vision was originally developed by Job One for Humanity over several decades. The new CCPARM community was designed to be a:
1. Climate change emergency prepared, adapted, and resilient community,
2. A lead example in the climate change resilience movement,
3. A climate-prepared community that can assist other new climate change-prepared communities to come into being worldwide and
4. A lead community working out the needed changes so humanity never faces another similar climate change crisis again.
CCPARM has other purposes, as you will discover in its guide, but for now, all you need to know are the four purposes above.
While the CCPARM community maintains many unique features and rigorous membership criteria, it also continuously supports the creation of other eco-communities, guided into existence through the ClimateSafe Villages organization we helped create.
Review these UCCPARM Guide pages only if you are seriously interested in joining the CCPARM and CSV model.
If you are browsing and want an easy, general sense of what we are doing, we strongly recommend you first explore the new ClimateSafe Villages website. Please click here to go to the far less complex ClimateSafe Village (CSV) website and start exploring the many positive possibilities.
If you only want to learn more about the unique CCPARM version of a CSV, please continue reading our multi-page Universe One guide below.

Overview
On an earlier page of our CCPARM and ClimateSafe eco-community overview, we promised to list the benefits of a new form of personalized democracy. We believe that Personal Democracy (PD) will create a superior new form of democracy that resolves current deep structural problems in all political systems and can be used at scales from community "political" operations to city, state, nation, and even global political operations.
Personal democracy will play a significant role in managing the New CCPARM and ClimateSafe Villages. Personal democracy will hopefully also become a substantial part of our new eco-communities management system. (Independent eco-communities may or may not choose to implement their principles.)

Here is the promised benefit shortlist of our new form of direct Personalized Democracy
1. Each citizen's voice is captured and directly implemented in all government actions that affect them. This means "majoritarian" voting oppression is eliminated.
2. To achieve the equivalent of current legislative action, a group of coordinators who are experts in each needed aspect of a social rule or area is formed. Their oath is to create a process that fulfills as many requests as possible within the boundaries of sustainability and social equity. That is, a government body no longer selects laws from 2 polarized bills created by representatives. Laws are constructed using community communication processes that fully address and implement every citizen's voice within the constraints of a sustainable natural world and in balance with community needs.
3. Every citizen is given a direct voice to track and evaluate all programs' implementation and effectiveness. This ensures accurate and fair outcomes for all programs.
4. Because governing actions directly represent all people's will, there are no longer elections of people to whom the power of decision is granted. This means there are no longer political parties that divide society. Joint social action is instead steered toward the optimization of each person's Quality of Life.
5. Because both laws and implementation are based on all citizens' direct involvement, corruption and racist or favored group-biased implementation are inherently eliminated.
6. This new form of direct democracy directly eliminates authoritarianism and destructive predatory competition from all businesses, institutions, and organizations. The currently needed warning "Buyer Beware" is eliminated from society and replaced by a much higher cooperative competition principle. All organizations exist first for the benefit and well-being of citizens and society, then for the benefit of their specific purpose.
7. Discoveries have been made that identify severe limitations in human mental abilities to deal with modern complexity. The operating principles of Personalized Democracy incorporate methods to eliminate these limitations and the interpersonal strife we observe as gridlock in governments, the polarization of society, and war.
8. Here is a white paper explaining the above benefits and processes of Personal Democracy in detail.

How to Join Any One of Our Four CCPARM and ClimateSafe Village Models
If you have read enough and see the value and need for our various eco-community models, please join and help with this worthy and meaningful work. We invite everyone interested to help us grow and enhance our eco-community models with your ideas, wisdom, and efforts.
If we cooperate and get started now, we can still be prepared for the critical 2025-2031 threshold. From 2025-2031, climate change consequences will shift from a linear to an exponential progression as many tipping points are crossed and climate feedback loops are triggered.
Here are the most critical initial areas where new members, volunteers, and especially project managers are needed. These areas are law, fund-raising, finance, eco-friendly architectural community design, online and offline education, sustainable general contracting, construction, plumbing, electrical, administrative management, recruiting and human resources, medical services, wellness services, therapeutic psychological services, internet security, software design, permaculture, organic gardening, animal husbandry, and public relations.
There are just four simple steps to get started:
Step 1. Sign up for our eco-community information and alert mailing list for this virtual by clicking here.
Step 2. Please email us at ([email protected]). Tell us which model of the four eco-community models you want to join.
Step 3. In that email, let us know any skill or experience you have that could be helpful to any needed skill or knowledge area mentioned on our five eco-community pages.
Step 4. In that email, please let us know which location you are in now or plan to move to so we can connect you with others working in or near that location.
Once we receive your email, we will get back to you, let you know your next steps for your membership application, and, as applicable, connect you with the eco-community project leader or lead member in the area closest to you.
