About the site

A ladder, written for the person who feels late.

Getting Prepared Now is a free guide. The class numbers are the point. 101 is planning. 201 is a week. 301 is a month of restoration, including a plain explanation of AC, DC, and batteries. Higher rungs are marked so the shape is honest, and left unfinished until the lower ones are worth climbing.

What it is not

It is not a bunker brand, a storm blog, or an official agency. Florida is where the author lives. Storms are one emergency among others, and they are not the opening subject. There is no paywall and there are no product links on this version. If gear links show up later, they will be things the author would actually use, and they will be labeled as such.

The tone is meant to stay calm on purpose. The reader is allowed to be scared. The site’s job is to hand them one rung.
