What people say about BePrepared

These are the words of real people who tried BePrepared: participants in our February 2026 focus groups, who used an early version of the site, and our first users. Each quote is exactly what they said or wrote, shared with their permission. We label who each person is, including when they are a friend of ours.

• “The quality and personalization of the BeAware solution were strong. It gave me a ton of intel like my evacuation route and all the past patterns.”

• “I looked at the real report, and then it was just very practical. I was like, 'Okay, this is smart, this is exactly what I would need to do.'”

• “It's not like a doom prepper website. It's more like, 'Hey, be prepared in case of emergency.'”

• “Really impressive tool, my daughter looked through it last night and were impressed to see the local water levels for the various Chicago river tributaries nearby.”

• “…having something that's catered towards my specific circumstances is very appealing.”

• “High value and the format is easy to understand”

• “I think it's very, very thorough and compelling.”

• “I thought it was pretty practical, very practical.”
