Keep your household fed, supplied, and connected when normal life is interrupted. Build your first 7-day plan with Prepper Joe, then work toward 30 and 90 days of readiness.
Joe is the face of Prepper Joe: everyday preparedness, explained in plain English. The focus is the household you have, the people you care for, and the next useful step you can take.
Start with your household.
An apartment or a house. Children, older adults, or pets. Build around the needs that make your plan yours.
Give every purchase a job.
Put useful basics first. Know what problem a piece of gear solves before it earns a place on your list.
Practice before you need it.
Use the drills and household challenge to turn a written plan into something your family knows how to follow.
Prepper Joe is a fictional educational host.
