Are you a mostly normal person who wants to prepare your family for disaster scenarios, but the thought of off-grid cabins or underground bunkers seems ridiculous? These tools are the tools for you!

Our Disaster Bundle combines all the resources at HCTA’s disposal, along with a hearty dollop of dark humor, to develop your defenses against the rising chance of facing a natural disaster (or zombie apocalypse, as it were). These materials are deeply researched, compiled, and written by a crack team of literal geniuses to ensure that the most likely disasters you might encounter are covered, no matter where you reside.

The Bundle gets five stars!

“I am truly blown away. It’s out of this world and on so many levels. The thoroughness of the content, clever jokes, monstery design, so user friendly.”

The What, Why, and How of each tool:

Disaster Playbook

What it contains:

Concise instructions for completing your disaster preparations in three parts: gear, planning, and practice
Baseline disaster info and gear explanations to contextualize your prep and help you develop a sense of what aspects matter most to you
Plenty of jokes, cartoons, photos, stories, and activity pages to keep you going whenever the utilitarian core of the content rears its boring head
Emotional intelligence (this game is 90% mental!)

Why you need it:

DIY prep means hours of research, which we’ve already done for you
Most people trying to prepare without a guide give up before they’re fully prepared!
You want to prep so you’ll be safe and comfortable when there’s a disaster… not so you can live off-grid forever

How we make it easy:

Preparing is a complex task; the Playbook makes sure you’ll keep returning to where you left off until you’re done
We meet you where you are and give you the “preparing to prepare” tools you need to succeed
We’re pretty funny, if you like gallows humor

2 I Will Thrive Manuals

What it contains:

Fillable forms for emergency contacts, family photos, home safety diagrams, designated meeting places, evacuation and emergency scenario checklists, and more
Tips to keep your group safe (and sane) in a disaster

Why you need it:

Keeps everything in one place for easy reference during a crisis
Organizes what you’ve learned from the Disaster Playbook
Keeps your disaster prep moving forward; the end is in sight!

How we make it easy:

It’s a workbook! If you hate guesswork, fill-in-the-blanks are for you.
It’s not TOO MUCH. Thrive by being comprehensive… not obsessive.

10 Emergency Buddies

What it contains:

All of the important core info your absent-minded friends and family might need while they’re out and something bad happens
Personal details for better results if you are incapacitated during a crisis
Designated meeting places and tips for reacting to disasters and emergencies

Why you need it:

Having important phone numbers and designated meeting places on-hand can help a separated child reunite with family more easily
Receiving care at an out-of-network hospital is a disaster all its own
Losing your phone or depleting your battery can happen anytime; the Emergency Buddy is your back up plan

How we make it easy:

It fits right in your pocket, wallet, purse, backpack — anywhere you have space for a credit card.
You don’t need to be crafty to create an effective tool that goes everywhere with you; you just need a pen (included in the Disaster Bundle!)

Master of Disaster

What it contains:

Great resources and all of the contact info your OOTC will need to be your personal emergency dispatcher
Advice on how to be a good leader and a great helper in a crisis
Space to personalize it with any additional details your OOTC might need

Why you need it:

Gathering these important tips into a single location makes them more accessible to your OOTC in an emergency
Your OOTC will perform better with a clear system of action than with a DIY solution

How we make it easy:

It’s strikingly beautiful and thoughtfully made; it makes it easier for your OOTC to remember it exists and that they are your lifeline
It’s a single digital file (or you can print it) that you can easily update annually

Disaster Deep Dive

What it contains:

Useful info about the most common disasters, and a few rarer ones
Guides for fully preparing for specific disasters

Why you need it:

Your location and other variables determine your disaster risk; you’re more at risk for some disasters than others
Each chapter gives you a clearer view of how preparing for and reacting to each disaster will work for your family

How we make it easy:

Your drills need to be customized for your household, but a general list of rules makes making them a lot easier

A full page for responsibilities ranked by importance
Individual lists for evacuating in 30 seconds, 5 minutes, or 1 hour

Why you need it:

Doing all your thinking now will make you act faster laster
Emergencies can make you forget important steps; writing them down makes it easier to complete all necessary tasks

How we make it easy:

It’s beautiful enough to keep on display, which makes accessing it in an emergency even faster
Color coding on the item lists will keep your group on track

2 Important Papers Packs

What it contains:

BONUS Sticker Sheet

Express yourself with this exclusive Disaster Bundle bonus. React, recoil, rejoice! Preparing for disasters can be an emotional roller coaster.

Don’t keep it all bottled up. Screw your courage to the sticking place and stick these sticky stickers with confidence. Great for decorating your HCTA tools, water bottles, or small children who love profanity.

Thin Sharpie

When he said “a thing of beauty is a joy forever,” Keats was talking about Sharpies. The entire purpose of the Disaster Bundle is to keep you motivated all the way to the end of your prep process, and the right pen makes a huge difference. Check off the boxes in your Playbook like a queen!

The Sharpie pen is smooth, decisive, and water-resistant. Keep it in your Go Bag when you’re done with your prep. The apocalypse calls for a high quality writing implement, especially if you only have room for one.
