A.N.T.S has teamed up with The American Preppers Network to provide a main forum and colony sub forums for members in every state so that we can discuss plans and meetups. If no one has started a colony in your area, think about starting one yourself.
Colonies are not required, but joining or forming a colony with friends and neighbors in your state adds an extra level of preparations to your A.N.T.S survival plan.
Local colonies allow ants to meet up with one another to practice and learn new skills as well as discuss plans for what they would do in a wide spread level two disaster.
