Why preparedness matters

Preparedness isn't about expecting the apocalypse.

It's about the storm that takes the power out for four days. The card terminals that stop working. The evacuation notice at 11pm. Ordinary disruptions that get much easier when a few decisions were already made.

  • Most households have some supplies and no plan.
  • The gap between 'I should' and 'I did' is where preparedness fails.
  • Small actions, done in order, move the needle fastest.
