The Vivos Group

The Vivos Project is headed by Robert Vicino, an entrepreneur with a global history of success in manufacturing, marketing and real estate development. In 1980, Robert was inspired to build a shelter for people, deep underground to protect us from a coming life-extinction event. That was 35 years ago, but it was so vivid and compelling, that he dropped everything and started looking for an underground cave or abandoned mine that could be hardened to create a shelter of massive proportions, to save as many people as he could. In 2008, the Vivos project was officially launched as a privately funded venture to provide a life-assurance shelter solution for as many people as possible in the face of virtually any catastrophe. Now, with the conviction that this was his true mission, clearly inspired, either fortunately, or unfortunately, because he had the unique skill set to get it done. What a huge responsibility, sticking his neck out for ridicule, and investing years of his life and savings to save others. Robert now accepts that responsibility with great humility and gratitude that he can, together with a team of experts in engineering, architecture, construction, medicine, psychology, healthcare, nutrition, law, the constitution, finance, management, logistics, manufacturing, security and self defense, each dedicated to bring the Vivos network to reality around the world. Vivos is currently building a network of hardened underground shelters strategically located around the world, within reach of the major regions they serve. At full build-out, our goal is to be able to accommodate about 1 in every 1 million people on Earth. Each Vivos shelter will be strategically located away from potential ground-zero blast areas, at high altitudes, and in the best surroundings of nature and resources. While proximity is important, survivability is more concerning.
