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](#address) ### 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](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeAware) 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.

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](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffzyqrmrcsdoxzvdmlgom.supabase.co%2Fstorage%2Fv1%2Fobject%2Fpublic%2Fvideos%2Flanding_page%2Fvideo%2Fcover-landscape.jpg%3Fv%3D1775680121000&w=3840&q=75) ## 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](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/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. Our solutions [BeReady](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeReady)[BeAdvised](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/BeAdvised) 3 ### Equipment Every item ties back to a step in your plan. No impulse buys, no gaps. Gear that fits your household. Our solution [BeEquipped](https://staging.bepreparedsolutions.co/solutions/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. ## What people told us after trying it In their own words, from our February 2026 focus groups and our first users.

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. ### How do I make a family emergency plan without getting overwhelmed? 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. ### Is this a prepper or doomsday site? 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. ### How do I know I have the right emergency kit and an actual plan to use it? 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. ### How long does it take to get prepared with BePreparedSolutions.co? 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. ### How much does BePrepared cost?
