The Gathering Storm

What you don't know that you NEED to know. The Gathering Storm is a groundbreaking initiative addressing the critical gaps in our nation’s preparedness for emerging terror threats following the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. Through an unprecedented public-private partnership, this project fosters collaboration across federal, state, and local levels to identify threats and implement best practices. We have partnered with the top Global War on Terror intelligence professionals and special operations veterans to inform YOU on the potential for a terrorist attack in YOUR community. The mission of The Gathering Storm is not to create fear as happens in legacy media and modern politics, but rather to EMPOWER communities and leaders to confront the rising threat of international terrorism through collaboration, education, and preparedness. By fostering public-private partnerships, raising awareness, studying lessons learned from past events, and providing actionable resources, we aim to safeguard lives, strengthen resilience, and uphold national security. We want you to be prepared to DETER, IDENTIFY, AND REACT through knowledge, planning and preparation. The contributors to this project swore "NEVER AGAIN” after 9/11/2001. For 20 years we kept that promise. Now, “NEVER AGAIN” is at our door step in the places where you live, work, and play. We WILL sound the alarm on the resurgence of terrorism and provide actionable solutions to protect our communities. Through comprehensive studies, supplemental resources, and a persistent engagement strategy, The Gathering Storm keeps the conversation alive across digital and traditional platforms.
