The Global Annihilation Security Project (GASP) was founded immediately following The Occurrence and the signing of the Secure Alliance Act. GASP was formed as a preventative security agency tasked with the responsibility of protecting our nation from all threats to the nation’s peace and stability.

To accomplish this mission, GASP focuses its efforts on educating and preparing the masses for future Occurrences of all shapes and sizes. Through informative education sessions, awareness events, and specialized training, GASP works closely with the public to ensure protection for all.

GASP representatives will be tabling in the Attallah Piazza on Tuesday, February 14 from 10am-2pm to provide information about disaster preparedness. Fun prizes will be given out!

This is one of the many events leading up to the April 6, 2017 Surviving the End of the World Interstices 2017 event. This will be an interdisciplinary panel discussion on the realities, myths, and stories of disaster and apocalypse. The event will feature speakers from the arts and sciences; topics will include: how to prepare for disasters, how to survive them, and what forms are they likely to take; why are we so fascinated by this sense of an ending?; why are shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and films like ‘World War Z’ so popular and what can we learn from them? The panelists will be invited to discuss a range of disaster scenarios and how to survive them. In keeping with our theme, many of these scenarios will be drawn from cultural texts, including The Walking Dead and World War Z.
