A plurality of private civil security resources are provided (101). These private civil security resources comprise, at least in part, civil security provisions, civil security facilities, and civil security provisions. Consideration-based private civil security subscriptions are accepted (301) from subscribers with respect to providing civilly-catastrophic event-based access to one or more such resource. That resource is then maintained (303) pending a need to permit subscription-based access to the resource in the event of a catastrophic event. By one approach, these subscriptions may also relate to delivering an initial quantity of civil security provisions, which is intentionally less than the full amount of survival supplies to which the individual has a right to receive.
