High Alert Institute

Provided economical solutions for training in physical and behavioral healthcare, disaster planning and response, and technical skills necessary to manage emergency and disaster event. Disaster behavioral health promoting mental and emotional resilience disasters disrupt life and impact our sense of personal, family, and community safety. Survivors and responders alike often are not aware of the emotional, psychological or spiritual challenges that they may face from disaster onset through recovery. With two decades of experience training responders and communities to prepare for the behavioral health aspects of disasters, we will continue to provide education and a curated list of resources to groups or individuals.

Scientific research support sharing the scientific truth and experience the High Alert Institute team has over a century of combined research experience in medical, nursing, behavioral health, and disaster sciences. Our team provides support to researchers and technology developers through comprehensive literature searches and reviews, as well as failure mode database searches and adjudicated reviews. Patents & innovations for good (ip4good & good4planet) never let a good idea go to waste intellectual property (ip) just sitting on a shelf will lose value as it becomes obsolete. The High Alert Institute ip donation program seeks to rescue stranded, technology-related ip with the potential for development into marketable products. Once accepted by the program, the owner/inventor is eligible for a tax deduction equivalent to the fair market value of the ip. The Institute receives the patent licensing fees or revenue from the sale of the ip to businesses, helping us to fund our mission. In turn, businesses are able to advance their markets and create jobs for less money than starting a project from scratch.

Aquatic pet rescue & shelter caring for our finned friends when disaster strikes, most aquatic pet owners have limited options to secure the safety of their pets. Sheltering in place may not be possible if there is no power to provide aeration and "pet-friendly" shelters do not include ponds or aquariums. Our goal is to provide an option for aquatic pet owners in need of rescue and shelter for their finned friends. The joy of koi healing through koi therapy disasters are defined as situations in which needs exceed or overwhelm available resources. Some disasters affect an entire community, while other disasters impact individuals and families. Crises of physical or psychological health can be very personal disasters. The therapeutic value of pets during illness, trauma, and recovery is well established. And koi fish may be well suited for people who are not able to provide verbal pet commands or physically care for pets like dogs and cats. Koi ponds are also a source of beauty and peace, providing an ideal setting for quiet reflection or meditation. We are working to partner with pond installers and aquatic pet rescues/shelters to offer free or reduced-cost ponds with rehomed koi fish to people seeking this type of pet therapy. Adopt a koi open your home & heart to a finned family member. Koi need forever homes too for pond enthusiasts, freshwater exotic and ornamental fish may not be available through pet stores or rescues in their area. The High Alert Institute aquatic pet shelter rehoming program will be happy to assist you in stocking your new pond or adding a new finned friend to your school. Coming soon - when you adopt a koi from the High Alert Institute aquatic pet shelter rehoming program, we can arrange for delivery to your door anywhere in the continental united states. Hurricane response & recovery in response to natural disasters impacting the region served by the aquatic animal shelter, the Institute coordinates operations and fundraising with other animal welfare response organizations during hurricanes.

Environmental stewardship & green technology protecting nature through innovation our efforts in shelter and rescue are the main focus of our environmental stewardship, reducing the environmental impact of non-native aquatic animals being dumped into public waterways. The High Alert Institute also assists innovators with the design, development, and evaluation of green and renewable energy technologies. Reducing the carbon footprint associated with disaster preparedness, response, and recovery furthers our continued mission to mitigate risk and improve resilience. Social determinants of health (sdoh) raising awareness of environmental health factors for humans and animals non-medical factors that impact overall health are termed social determinants of health or sdoh. Noise pollution, poor air quality, and poor water quality are three environmental factors known to have a strong link to overall health. And the same environmental factors that impact humans impact their pets and other animals in their care. We continue to assist in advocacy, education, and technology development to mitigate the impact of sdoh on humans and animals alike.
