Quick Answer
When selecting a meeting point for a prepper group, consider the location's accessibility, visibility, and safety in both remote and urban areas. Remote locations may offer better concealment, while urban areas provide easier access to resources. Urban areas may also have more fixed points for navigation.
Choosing a Reliable Remote Meeting Point
Select a remote meeting point that is easily recognizable, at least 2 miles away from any roads or trails, and ideally within a 5-mile radius of a prepper’s home. Use GPS coordinates to record the location and keep the information confidential. Also, consider the terrain, choosing a spot with minimal obstacles and clear line of sight to the surrounding area.
Urban Meeting Point Selection
When selecting an urban meeting point, focus on easily accessible locations, such as public squares or major intersections, that are visible from a distance. Choose areas with minimal obstructions and well-lit streets. Consider using a landmark or a notable structure as a reference point for navigation. In urban areas, use a combination of street addresses, GPS coordinates, and descriptive landmarks to ensure accurate navigation.
Combining Remote and Urban Meeting Points
In a prepper communication plan, consider combining remote and urban meeting points to achieve a balance between concealment and accessibility. For example, a remote meeting point in a low-visibility area can serve as a secondary location, while an urban meeting point near a major intersection can serve as a primary location. This approach allows preppers to adapt to different situations and ensures that communication can occur in a variety of scenarios.
