Leverage your strengths. Address your exposure.
We'll provide a structured walk-through of the critical systems you rely on—home, health, skills, supplies... boiled down into clear priorities and a structured roadmap. Designed for people who want practical readiness without fear-mongering.
The framework
The assessment uses a simple systems lens: identify dependencies, single points of failure, and realistic disruption scenarios (power outage, wildfire smoke, supply interruptions, injury/illness, job disruption, severe weather). Then build low-drama improvements sequenced to your priorities and available resources.
Systems-first
We focus on what keeps you functioning: heat, water, power, food, medical, mobility, communications, and safety.
Scenario-aware
Plans are tested against plausible scenarios so you invest in what matters—not gear for its own sake.
Prioritized
Every recommendation is scored by impact vs. effort/cost so the next steps stay obvious.
Systems assessed
- Shelter & heat: weatherization, backup heat, indoor air quality, wildfire smoke plan.
- Power & energy: outage tolerance, critical loads, backup power, charging, fuel strategy.
- Water: storage, filtration, sanitation, hot water, redundancy, local sources.
- Food: pantry depth, cooking capability, cold storage, rotation and replenishment.
- Medical: first aid, prescriptions, care plans, training, decision trees.
- Mobility: vehicles, routes, evacuation triggers, go-bags, comms and maps.
- Communications: family plans, radios, offline info, check-in protocols.
- Safety: lighting, physical security basics, neighborhood coordination.
- Finance & document security: cash buffers, insurance, duplicates, passwords, critical records.
- Community: mutual aid, skills mapping, roles, and emergency contact protocols.
Readiness scoring
Each system is rated for capability (how well it performs), redundancy (what happens if it fails), and operability (can you actually use it under stress). Scores roll up into a simple heat-map and a top-10 high-impact priorities list.
Process
1) Intake
Short questionnaire + goals, constraints, and any known risks (medical, travel, work, location).
2) Walk-through
On-site or virtual review of systems, storage, workflows, and decision points.
3) Report
A clear written plan: what to do next, why it matters, and relative costs.
Optional: implementation support
If you want help executing—procurement, contractor coordination, system design, or project management—we can scope it as a follow-on engagement. This is scoped separately from the assessment, allowing you to start with a clear plan before committing to implementation.
