At Ready & Prepped, we believe that emergency preparedness should be practical, realistic, and accessible to everyone. After years of preparing our family for emergencies, my husband and I were asked to be self-reliance specialists in our church congregation. Each week we researched and wrote articles to help people become more self-sufficient -- not just for major disasters but also for the everyday emergencies that impact individuals and families.

While natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires are real threats, we've found that personal emergencies -- such as medical issues, job loss, unexpected vehicle repairs, mental health issues and so many other individual challenges -- are far more common. That's why our approach to preparedness goes beyond just stockpiling supplies. We focus on helping people create a solid foundation of readiness for all of life's uncertainties.

Our mission is simple: to make preparedness easier and more practical for everyday people. The more prepared you are, the better off your family and community will be. We hope that as you gain confidence in your own preparedness, you'll help others do the same -- because strong, prepared communities recover faster and thrive together.

Join us on this journey to be Ready & Prepped for whatever comes next.
