Ready, Fire, Aim: A Live Experiment in Disaster Response

Ready, Fire, Aim: A Live Experiment in Disaster Response

“Shoot. Aim. Ready.”

While it may sound backward, this approach is an incredibly effective way to learn and make progress. For much of my life, I’ve tackled new challenges knowing that the first attempt is less about perfection and more about discovery. This initial effort is never a waste; it provides invaluable experience and clarifies what truly matters for a more focused, effective second attempt.

This week, we are putting that philosophy into practice… again.

What We’re Doing (July 21-23)

From Monday to Wednesday this week, we are launching a proof-of-concept for the IDRN Correspondent Program. This experiment is already showing its value—in the process of setting up interviews, we’ve been able to arrange the delivery of much-needed tech gear from San Antonio to Leander first thing in the morning.

To get an even better understanding of what we’re doing, here’s a link to a 2-page overview of the IDRN Correspondents Program and it is found on pages 52 & 53 of the “The WHY and HOW of the New IDRN” White Paper. Link: 58-page IDRN White Paper

We welcome you to follow this journey. Your interest is encouraging, your involvement is even more so, and any financial contributions are deeply appreciated.
