Connected - Prometheus

We Are Connected.

Effective disaster response programs rely on a sense of connectivity, which is why it’s one of our top three priorities as innovators in the disaster response space. By helping countries design and enhance their connections across a network of strategic partnerships, we can increase the speed and quality of the responsiveness across the map.

They say it takes a village…

To raise a child? Certainly. To keep those children safe? Especially. By promoting and cultivating connectedness within communities, we can provide them with direct, life-saving access to institutions, non-profits, and commercial entities that will empower and deliver when response and support is needed. Prometheus believes that the most important connections exist at the regional and community levels, and we aim to help reinforce these wherever possible.

OUR APPROACH

We’re connecting all elements of your response program

Decentralized Approach

Prometheus organizes teams to be adaptable and efficient, operating in decentralized networks and empowering individuals as leaders and decision makers. This approach is modeled after a Team of Teams approach, and is based on each member being trusted to make key decisions quickly.

Community First

Our number one priority is the local community. We reinvest back into the local economy by creating jobs and sourcing materials from local businesses. We'll help to establish and staff a local response center that'll serve as a primary hub for local meetings, planning, and connection.

Reliable Networks

Regional Relationships

While we may priortize local community, disasters don’t exactly discriminate against striking along borders or shared land. Prometheus is committed to the creation of regional models whose chief goal is improving disaster response through a shared purpose and a common cause.

Creating a "Team of Teams"

Prometheus organizes teams to be adaptable and efficient, operating in decentralized networks and empowering individuals as leaders and decision makers. This approach is modeled after a Team of Teams approach, and is based on each member being trusted to make key decisions quickly. The emphasis is placed on a genuine level of trust among all key players throughout the structure, resulting in the ability to innovate quickly through increased efficiency. In addition to empowering individuals, this structure allows key leaders to focus on being strategic in their decision making while empowering other members to execute.

We put your local community
at the heart of our mission
and the center of our plans.

By getting – and staying – ahead of the curve, we can begin monitoring and planning for potential disaster responses at a national level while individual communities can prepare efficiently. By collaborating with communities, we are able to optimize logistics, gather materials, allocate labor, and avoid dependencies on outside aid.

COMMUNITY BENEFITS

Create jobs within your community

We strive to enable local community members to get involved and bring a local perspective to the table.

Source materials from local industry

We aim to support your local economy by relying on community-based organizations so supply materials and tools.

Utilize local knowledge and expertise

We tap into existing local networks to leverage the most relevant expertise and insights possible.

Reduce dependence on outside aid

We help your community learn how to support themselves and prioritize a sense of self-sufficiency.

PROJECT HEADQUARTERS

Community Response Center

By developing and implementing regional training centers that leverage resources from the local community, we can create regional hubs for disaster response personnel and equipment. This enables your community to plan, inform, and respond quickly and effectively from one centralized, community-based location.

The personnel and equipment you need, exactly when you need it - and not a second later.

We’ll help you build the ultimate response team.

Prometheus optimizes the process of tracking and deploying personnel and equipment through cutting-edge technology and tools. Our logistics management capabilities are just one of the ways we support citizens and emergency personnel during all cycles of disaster preparedness. Our personnel networks are curated based on location, enabling relevant teams of experts to tend to disasters without delay following an event. By creating a reliable network, we’re able to communicate efficiently and organize effective teams as needed.

Choose the right tools to get the job done efficiently.

Successful disaster response depends heavily on people and equipment. By sourcing and linking equipment and supplies, we can ensure that countries have an asset management strategy based on proven methods and leveraging tracking tools. Since one of the biggest challenges during disaster response is being able to quickly acquire essential equipment, but by eliminating needless friction, we can track equipment ownership and location with ease.

Prometheus has established a clear, efficient approach to tracking equipment ownership and distribution, which enables our connectivity to thrive. Our teams perform extensive analysis on the type of equipment needed, who owns said equipment, and which organizations are willing to participate in a response. This connectedness is yet another crucial aspect of our capabilities embedded in our decentralized model.

Mother nature knows no borders.

REGIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Collaboration enables connectivity.

Regional relationships are equally as critical when it comes to disaster response, especially since disasters don’t exactly discriminate against striking along borders or shared land. Prometheus is committed to the creation of regional models which are not based on existing examples, but whose chief goal is improving disaster response through a shared purpose. By prioritizing collaborative models at the regional and governmental level, we can begin to pave the path towards a more connected, effective approach to disaster response.
