Abstract

A private civil security subscription mechanism serves to facilitate the provision of survival supplies for corresponding authorized beneficiaries. These supplies may or may not include gender-specific contents that are not specific to a given such beneficiary. These supplies can be retained and delivered as an aggregated unit or can, if desired, be parsed for storage and/or delivery purposes into smaller sub-units. Items as supplied by third parties (including the beneficiary themselves) can also be included with the survival supplies for later delivery. If desired, additional amounts of such supplies than are necessarily required to support such beneficiaries with supplies for a given authorized beneficiary being stored in a plurality of locations. The delivery process will accommodate, if desired, the use of event categorizations to direct the use of differing delivery protocols.
