When "Just in Case" Becomes "Right Now": New Disaster Preparedness App
We’ve all been there: watching the weather report as a storm intensifies, receiving an emergency alert about a nearby wildfire, or feeling the ground shake during an unexpected tremor. In these moments, having a plan is really nice to have.
But let’s be honest: traditional disaster preparedness can feel overwhelming. Where do you start? What supplies do you actually need? And how do you keep track of everything when an emergency actually happens?
That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our upcoming Ready for Unsteady App for iOS and Android: a personal disaster plan builder designed for real people living in the real world, not just hardcore preppers. No matter where you live, what you’re preparing for, or who you need to protect, our app puts personalized preparedness literally in the palm of your hand.
Why One-Size-Fits-All Disaster Plans Don't Work
If you’ve ever searched for emergency preparedness tips online, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: most advice is generic at best, unrealistic at worst.
The truth is, the disaster plan for someone in a high-rise apartment in Seattle faces very different challenges than a family in a single-story home in Florida. Your personal situation matters—from your dwelling type to your local disaster risks, from your mobility needs to your family structure.
Your Life, Your Plan: The Personal Approach to Preparedness
The Ready for Unsteady App starts with you, not generic checklists or overwhelming supply lists. Here’s how our personalized approach works:
Custom Dwelling Settings
Whether you live in:
- A single-family house
- An apartment
- A mobile home
- A condo
- Student dorm
Our app tailors your disaster plan to your specific living situation. Because evacuation routes from the 15th floor look very different than from a ranch-style home.
Regional Disaster Focus
Why prepare for tsunamis if you’re in Kansas? Or dust storms if you’re in Maine? The Ready for Unsteady App helps you prepare for the disasters most likely to affect your region:
- Hurricanes
- Earthquakes
- Floods
- Wildfires
- Winter storms
- Tornadoes
- Power outages
- And more
We’ll guide you through preparations specific to your actual risks, not hypothetical scenarios that waste your time and resources.
Resource Planning Made Simple
Gone are the days of overwhelming, expensive prepper lists. Our app helps you identify:
What you already have that can serve dual purposes
What you genuinely need based on your specific risks
How to build your supplies gradually and affordably
Where to store items in your specific dwelling type
The result? A practical resource plan that works for your space, budget, and actual needs.
Emergency Mode: When Seconds Count
When disaster strikes, fumbling through apps is the last thing you need. That’s why we’ve created Emergency Mode—a one-touch solution that transforms your phone into a command center when you need it most:
- SOS Alarm: A high-decibel alert to signal for help
- Emergency Services Direct Dial: Quick access to 911 and local emergency services
- Trusted Contacts Alert System: Notify your emergency contacts with a single tap
- Location Sharing: Let loved ones know exactly where you are
Evacuation Coordination
The Ready for Unsteady App helps you plan and store multiple meeting locations:
- Outside Your Home: Where to gather if you need to evacuate quickly (like the mailbox or a neighbor’s driveway)
- Outside Your Neighborhood: A meeting spot if your immediate area is inaccessible
- Outside Your City: A safe destination for major evacuations
Each location can be mapped, shared with family members, and accessed offline when networks are down.
