We raise to deliver donor funds for those at risk or in need.

To help pay the costs for select 'citizen volunteers' to assist core emergency workers at the heights of the overall disaster response. Where prudent and strategic. In a measured way. To minimize the risks—to help preserve life.

But also to orchestrate the strategic deployment of 'donor-gifted' emergency equipment - such as reliable high-tech safety whistles for search, rescue, and recovery opertions, as well as personal safety and survival.

Ascent has delivered hundreds of thousands of these highly valued safety whistles across the globe for personal safety, preparedness education, and . . . search, rescue, and recovery purposes. Please consider a small donation to deliver more where it matters most.

Our current small-dollar 'donor-gifting' drive is for Turkish & Syrian Earthquake Relief. As calls for help subside at an active site supported, we are ready to move on to next.

The goal for us this time, is to send hundreds to thousands of these premium whistles to aid responder communications during the months of recovery. With its high-pitch 115bB sound specifically designed to cut through man-made and natural barriers to being heard.

This is much-needed aid in equipment form, for a threatened or already compromised environment. Classic disaster preparedness and/or search, rescue, and recovery supplies and equipment. If you follow Ascent, this is sort of outreach that has informed our 'Special Educational' Initiatives.

As for the high-end safety whistles, our choice is simple. We target the very best in technology commensurate with the need. We cannot afford to cut corners on cost when that cost is relatively inexpensive, anyway. When lives are on the line, delivering the right technology matters. Deploying the right products for a specific emergency has a correlation to preserving life. Ask any front-line professional.

Observations and suggestions welcome.
