Let me introduce myself. I am an organizational resilience expert with nearly two decades of experience in the public and private sectors, focusing on emergency preparedness, business continuity, crisis management, and disaster recovery for large, complex organizations. My experiences have highlighted the critical need for preparedness. That's why I created The Prepared Home, a platform where I can share valuable tips, tools, and products I've researched, curated, and used throughout my preparedness journey. This site is not focused on wilderness survival, doomsday scenarios, long-term food storage techniques, or "prepping". While I may recommend other resources that cover those topics, my aim here is to offer practical, affordable preparedness tips that can help you feel ready and provide peace of mind with minimal effort.
