Your Connection to the TPM Network Starts Locally
The Prepared Majority is a national Network, but its strength is built locally.
Your TPM Area is the primary geographic connection between you, nearby TPM Communities, and the larger TPM Network.
Through the Area, TPM develops local relationships, connects capabilities, supports Communities, coordinates preparedness, and provides a pathway into the broader State, Regional, and National Network.
The Network is national. Your connection to it begins locally.

TPM Is Organized Geographically
Start With Your Area
The TPM Network is designed so preparedness capability remains close to the people and Communities that use it.
Communities build local capability. Areas connect those Communities to each other and to the larger TPM Network.

The Local Connection Point
What Is a TPM Area?
A TPM Area is a defined geographic portion of the TPM Network.
An Area can include multiple Communities and provides a practical level for organizing people, capabilities, communications, training, resources, and mutual support across a broader local area.
An Area is therefore more than a geographic boundary.
The Area is where local preparedness becomes part of the Network.

Area and Community Are Not the Same Thing
Your Area and Your Community
TPM Community
A TPM Community is the local group where members build relationships, develop collective preparedness capability, train, communicate, and support one another.
TPM Area
A TPM Area connects and supports multiple Communities across a larger geographic area.
An Area helps Communities benefit from capabilities beyond what any one Community could efficiently maintain alone.
Community builds capability locally. Area connects capability locally.

What Your Area Provides
A TPM Area helps connect members and Communities to resources and capabilities available throughout TPM.
Depending on the capability and local requirements, Area support may include:
Your Area does not replace your preparedness or your Community. It connects both to something larger.
Preparedness
Training, preparedness support, capability development, assessments, and shared preparedness resources.
Communications
Connections that help Communities communicate locally and connect with the larger TPM Network.
Shared Capability
Equipment, expertise, training, or other capabilities more effectively developed across multiple Communities.
Expertise
Connections between Communities and people with useful professional, technical, or practical skills.
Mutual Support
Coordination between Communities when requirements exceed the capability of one Community.
Network Connection
The pathway connecting Communities with appropriate State, Regional, and National capabilities.
Every Area Is Part of the National Network
Part of Something Larger
No TPM Area exists in isolation.
Each Area connects upward and outward.
The goal is not dependence on the top.
The goal is capability throughout the Network.

If Your Area Is Still Developing
Not every location will necessarily have the same level of TPM development. A visitor's location could return one of three statuses.
The geography should still belong to the TPM structure even when an active local organization has not yet been established. The Network is being built. This Area is not yet fully developed.
Established
An operational TPM Area exists for the location.

Your Next Step
Finding your Area does not automatically make someone a TPM member.
It identifies the portion of the Network associated with the person's location and provides the appropriate next step.
Finding the Network
Joining the Network
That distinction is particularly important because TPM's membership process is deliberate and Area-based.
