Know before a storm, fire or flood reaches your home. Have your plan ready.

BePrepared monitors your address around the clock and writes your household emergency plan for where you live. When a warning covers your street, everyone at home already knows who does what.

Built for regular families, not preppers.

How we use this

What we do with it. We look up public data for this spot: official alerts (National Weather Service and FEMA), flood maps (FEMA), wildfire hazard (US Forest Service), earthquakes and elevation (USGS), storm history (NOAA) and dams (US Army Corps of Engineers), and current weather from WeatherAPI.com. Only the map point goes to those services, and WeatherAPI.com gets it rounded to within a few miles. Address suggestions and the preview map come from Google Maps, so Google sees what you type here and the map point.

Nothing is saved until you activate. The address stays in this browser. If you start a plan, you confirm it before it is saved, and you can change or delete it any time.

We never sell it. Our privacy policy has the details. Read the privacy policy

Privacy tip. Checking for someone else, or rather not share your own address yet? A neighbor's address or a nearby corner gives almost the same picture, because alerts, weather and county history cover the whole area. Flood zone and wildfire hazard belong to the exact spot.

Four ways to get your household ready

Most households start with the free address check above. Then pick alerts, a plan, a kit or a call with a founder, and add the rest whenever you like. All four work better together: your alerts shape your plan, and your plan picks your kit.

Check my address first

Get alerted the moment a warning covers your street

BeAware monitors your address around the clock for official alerts, power outages, wildfire and air quality, and shows the all clear on your dashboard once the danger has passed.

How BeAware works
An example household, marked Example in the app. The tornado warning is simulated, not a real alert; the map and conditions are illustrative.

Have the plan before you need it

BeReady writes a household emergency plan for your address: who does what before, during and after an emergency, all the way to rebuilding.

Why Be Prepared — real moments, and the questions they leave with you

Built by two fathers who got their own households ready first

Brian brings the fieldcraft and Tiran brings the systems thinking. We test what we recommend, and we put nothing in front of you that we would not give to someone we love.

Why we built this

Being ready isn’t complicated.
It’s three things.

You're not starting from scratch. The research is done.

1

Awareness

Real-time alerts and historical risk data for your exact address. What's happening now and what's happened before, so nothing catches you off guard.

Our solution

BeAware
2

Know-How

Most people know they should do something. Know-How tells you exactly what, with step-by-step guides and infographics written for the emergencies you're most likely to face.

Equipment

Every item ties back to a step in your plan. No impulse buys, no gaps. Gear that fits your household.

Our solution

BeEquipped

Preparedness is broken. We built a better way.

Most families feel like they should be doing something but don't know where to start, what to buy, or who to trust. The information exists. The problem is none of it was built for you specifically.

What's real?

I see the news, but I don't know what's actually real and what could actually impact me.

Where do I start?

I know I need to do something, but I have no idea where to start and the topic feels overwhelming.

Not a prepper

I want to be prepared, but I don't want to be a 'prepper' or fall into the 'doomsday' trap.

Is my gear right?

I've bought some gear, but I don't know if it's the right gear or if I have an actual plan to use it.

Who has the time?

I have a job and a life. I don't have 40 hours a week to research supplies and monitor distant threats.

Common questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask before they start.

BeAware monitors your exact location for severe weather, power outages, infrastructure events, and historical risks. You see what is happening now and what has happened before, filtered to your address, so you can focus on what could actually impact you.

Most families start with BeAware to understand the real risks at their address, then build a personalized family emergency plan with BeReady. Every step is broken into small, concrete actions so you always know the next right thing to do.

No. BePreparedSolutions.co is built for regular families who want to be ready without obsessing about it. The tone is calm and practical, focused on protecting your household from realistic events like severe weather, outages, and local emergencies.

BeEquipped curates emergency kits that match your household size, risks, and budget, and every item is linked to the plan it supports. BeAdvised gives you a live session with a preparedness expert who reviews your situation end to end.

You can set up monitoring with BeAware in a few minutes, get a baseline household plan from BeReady (it takes up to 6 minutes to build once you answer the questions), and book a one hour consulting session with BeAdvised if you want expert guidance.

Checking your address is free, with no account and no card. You can also try BeAware and BeReady free before you pay anything. BeAware, live alerts for your address, is $7.99 a month billed yearly, or $8.99 month to month. BeReady, your household emergency plan, is $12.99 a month billed yearly, or $14.99 month to month. Both together are $19.99 a month billed yearly, or $22.78 month to month. You can cancel anytime from your profile.
